Coach Lavoy is a proud Virginia Beach native, a devoted husband of over 21 years, and a father of two beautiful girls. A lifelong athlete, he spent many years playing football and running track through high school and college. For over 25 years, he has also worked behind the scenes at a local news station helping bring stories to the community.


Coach Lavoy began his Jiu-Jitsu journey over four years ago after his daughter started training, and it quickly became his passion. Now a purple belt, he trains regularly and has become a big part of Chaos Jiujitsu—coaching students of all levels, helping with adult classes, welcoming new members, taking photos, and running our YouTube channel.


Outside the gym, he enjoys photography and lifting weights, hobbies that keep him creative and active.
