After 13 years of grappling, Sloan Clymer AKA The Caveman gets promoted to black belt by Keenan Cornelius at Legion HQ in San Diego. Sloan is a perfect example of someone who doesn’t let the colour of his belt get in the way of becoming a true master of grappling. Through sheer grit and resilience, he has overcome obstacles and endured all the suffering of jiu jitsu training with consistency and discipline. Please enjoy the video below and witness this happy occasion as if you were there too.
Who is The Caveman?
Sloan began his grappling journey at a young age thanks to his combat sports enthusiast father. He began training with his dad and friends in a literal barn which they later named “Caveman Combat”. The gym earned it’s name from it’s rugged look, hardcore right? Since then Sloan has become a nogi specialist with years of grappling experience.

He’s competed in amateur MMA, amateur boxing, folk style wrestling and a number of jiu jitsu competitions and super fights.
