Stephen Eakin

My name is Stephen Eakin, and martial arts has been the foundation of my life for decades. I’m a professional fighter, coach, and jiu-jitsu black belt who has experienced this art from every side of the mat — as a competitor, a teacher, and a lifelong student.

At Burton BJJ, my focus is helping people grow through disciplined training and strong fundamentals. I believe jiu-jitsu is more than technique — it’s confidence built through effort, composure developed under pressure, and personal growth earned over time.
