James Harbison

James Harbison was born in 1991, he began training wrestling early through his school’s sporting program. As he reached high school he changed to a catholic school that did not offer wrestling and as an alternative James’ father proposed practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Halfway through his freshman year he took his parent’s advice and joined a BJJ

academy. Brazilian

Jiu Jitsu quickly took over Harbison’s extracurricular time and by the end of 2009, Jimmy decided to move to Lloyd Irvin’s training camp where he would have better sparring partners and a more professional atmosphere. Upon taking this big step in his life, he decided to go “underground” cutting all the distractions of his life (including his facebook account) in order to stay focused on his ultimate goal of becoming a world Jiu Jitsu champion. His hard work paid off in 2011 as he won every major tournament in the brown belt middleweight division, also showing an excellent presence in tournaments such as the ADCC and the World Pro Cup that same year. He received his black belt from Lloyd Irvin on June 2011, shortly after his Mundial win.
