ABOUT ME
Angel Lopez
In October of 2009 Angel "Halo" Lopez like everyone else stepped on the Jiu-Jitsu mat for the first time and was hooked.
​
As a Blue belt in 2013 and with the encouragement of his Professor Luis "Speedy" Gonzales Clovis BJJ was opened and would later become the name you will see today Halo Jiu-Jitsu. A short time later Halo became an affiliate of Tinguinha BJJ under Mauricio Mariano aka Tinguinha the man made famous for his invention of the Spider Guard.
In 2016 he was promoted to the rank of Black Belt by Professors Speedy and Tinguinha.
​
From kids to Grandparents, moms to MMA fighters - Angel gives each student the same level of energy and respect.
Angel has built a team of coaches, competitors, and hobbyists to have that same drive, the same love of Jiu-Jitsu, and the same respect for their teammates/opponents.
Come into Halo anytime and ask for Professor Angel, you won't be disappointed.
Skills that matter in
