Biography
Max Hanson is a Canadian Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and one of the top rising competitors. Known for his high-paced style, dangerous guard, and sharp leglocking mechanics, Hanson has developed a reputation as a well-rounded and difficult matchup for any opponent.
Training under Dante Leon, Hanson refined a modern no-gi game built around strong inside-position guard work, tight leg entanglements, and the ability to transition quickly to back-taking and sweeping sequences. His guard is widely regarded as one of his biggest weapons—hard to pass, constantly threatening submissions, and capable of creating scrambles that lead to dominant positions.
Alongside his guard and leg lock arsenal, Hanson is known for his overall balanced approach, combining wrestling entries, solid top control, and a technical understanding of modern no-gi systems. His performances across major tournaments and pro events have marked him as one of the most promising athletes of his generation.
