For the proud South African who trains under John Danaher in Austin, Texas, every new victory is a step closer to his status as a legendary competitor.

To date, Luke has an impressive track record that placed him in the Top 15 NO-Gi Jiu-Jitsu names to know, just over a month ago.

His recent WNO win has seen him be commended for his quick momentum, and even those who have competed against him have sang his praises and shared affirmation that he will have an outstanding career.

Having come a long way from his garage gym in Johannesburg, his talent has taken him all over the world as he continues to defend his title as “the South African giant” both for his size and stature in the world of jiu-jitsu.
