Meet Caleb McAllister: A World-Class Grappler with a Champion’s Mindset

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when world-class technique meets unbreakable determination, look no further than Caleb McAllister. A jiu-jitsu black belt under Jamie Ridgeway as part of the PSBJJA, Caleb is a force to be reckoned with—both as a competitor and as a coach. His journey through combat sports has been nothing short of extraordinary, and if you ever get the chance to train with him, you’re in for something special.

This isn’t just another high-level athlete walking onto the mats—this is someone who has fought, earned, and proven his skills on every stage imaginable. Whether you’re rolling with him, learning from him, or simply watching him work, you’ll walk away inspired, motivated, and ready to push yourself harder than ever before.

A Career Built on Grit and Excellence

Caleb started his combat sports journey in the world of MMA, where he built an impressive career that spanned nearly a decade and over 20 professional fights. Not satisfied with just excelling in one arena, he transitioned to professional grappling, taking on some of the toughest names in the sport and racking up an impressive list of accolades:

🏆 Multiple ADCC Open Gold Medals – Competing in the toughest grappling tournament circuits and coming out on top. 🏆 Superfight Wins – Victories on the biggest submission-only stages like Sapateiro and the Professional Grappling Federation.

🏆 Champion Across Multiple Organizations – Holding the CSC, KOTM, Battle Mountain, and Jits Revolution 170 lb titles.

🏆 USA Grappling World Team – Representing Team USA at the UWW Grappling World Championships in Spain, where he placed 5th in the world.

If you’re looking for proof that hard work pays off, Caleb McAllister is it. He’s not just a competitor—he’s a testament to the power of discipline, persistence, and an unstoppable drive to improve.

A Coach Who Pushes You Beyond Your Limits

But here’s where Caleb truly stands out—his ability to teach, motivate, and make you better. Some elite athletes struggle to translate their success into effective coaching. Caleb? He thrives on it.

He believes that we are all capable of far more than we realize—but only if we’re willing to push ourselves beyond our perceived limits. He’s not the type to sugarcoat things or give empty encouragement. He’ll challenge you, demand more from you, and show you exactly how to unlock the potential you didn’t even know you had.

And the best part? He does it with humility, humor, and a relentless passion for the sport.

More Than Just an Athlete

For all of his accomplishments, Caleb is a grounded, down-to-earth guy who values family, learning, and personal growth. When he’s not on the mats, he’s spending time with his kids, diving into books, or geeking out over a favorite sitcom or movie.

His philosophy on training and life is simple but powerful:

“I truly believe that if we put actions behind our words, truly put in the work even when we don’t feel like it, and refuse to give up no matter what—anything is possible. Like a small-town kid from the middle of nowhere getting to represent Team USA in Spain.”

This is the kind of mindset that separates the good from the great. It’s what makes Caleb such an exciting person to learn from—not just as a grappler, but as someone who embodies what it means to chase your full potential.
