Justin Ordinario Biography
Justin Ordinario was born on April 6, 1983, in Houston, Texas, USA, but moved to the Philippines at a young age, alongside his family, where he spent his childhood. Justin returned to the US around the time he started high school, during his teens.
Sports were not a big part of Justin’s upbringing, but in 2006, at the age of 24, Ordinario decided to join a jiu-jitsu class at the Solis Martial Arts Academy in Houston, under instructor Alvis Solis, an affiliate of the Machado Jiu-Jitsu Association.
Ordinario’s path in the sport was straightforward. He spent his time under Solis from white to brown belt, a time when another one of Alvis’ students, Roy Davis, took over the gym. Davies remained as Justin’s main instructor from then on and it was he who promoted Justin and his brother Dustin to the black belt rank in January 2016. It was also during that year that the Ordinario brothers started training with Pablo Silva, one of the top jiu-jitsu instructors in the region.
In 2018, Justin and his brothers opened their academy in Houston, while maintaining their relationship with Pablo Silva.
