Tyler Schuckman
Tyler started training in 2009 at age 15, moved to Brazil in 2019 to train full-time, and earned his black belt in 2021 under Claudney "Borracha" and the Tozi brothers — followed by his first-degree black belt in 2024. What follows is a decade-plus of competing, from Kansas to São Paulo and back.
