Craig Paterson

​Craig is an individual who came to know Pete through Danny, shared Judo coach for him and his two boys, and also a close friend. Introduced a couple of years ago by Danny, Pete struck Craig as a lovely and humble man. Craig learned about Pete’s impactful work with young people, aiming to make a positive difference in their lives through both his inspirational life story and experiences, as well as his expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As a long-time martial arts student and a Close Protection Operative by profession, Pete approached Craig to assist in his Fighting Chance / Turnstyle program for young people in areas near Craig’s residence. Excited about the opportunity, Craig has thoroughly enjoyed being part of the team, collaborating with Pete, Danny, Bill, and, of course, the young participants in the sessions.
