Biography[edit]
Staniszewski was born August 1973 in Brooklyn, New York. Long Island raised, Staniszewski was introduced to boxing and traditional karate and Tae Kwon Do at an early age by his father. Staniszewski began wrestling in Junior High School continuing into college at Cortland State University. While abroad at the University of North London, Staniszewski played left prop for an all-English rugby team. There, one of his teammates introduced him to judo. After graduation, Staniszewski continued practicing judo; and in 1996, he began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with childhood friend and former UFC champion Matt Serra. Staniszewski trained and competed in both sports for over two decades. His unique grappling style has earned him titles in Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Submission Grappling and Wrestling. In 2013, Staniszewski retired from competing for personal reasons.[4][5][6]
