Josh Saunders is a highly respected grappling coach known for his systematic approach to takedowns, positional control, and competition-ready skill development.
As the founder of HPU Coaching, Josh has built a reputation for teaching techniques that work under pressure—bridging the gap between wrestling and jiu jitsu with an emphasis on control, efficiency, and repeatability. His coaching philosophy centers on helping athletes impose their game rather than relying on speed or athleticism alone.
Josh has coached athletes across multiple levels of competition and is especially known for his ability to break down complex grappling exchanges into clear, teachable systems. His instruction focuses on why techniques work, not just how to perform them—making his material accessible, durable, and immediately applicable.
At Vector, Josh will bring his proven framework for turning takedowns into sustained dominance, giving participants tools they can rely on long after the workshop ends.
