Alan Sanchez Biography
Alan Sanchez was born on June 17, 1996, in the San Francisco Bay Area, in California, USA.
Although a soccer (football) practitioner during his childhood, Alan wasn’t particularly sporty while growing up, and his sporting endeavors were merely recreational. It wasn’t until his late teens that Sanchez decided to pick up grappling as an extra-curricular activity.
The desire to start jiu-jitsu derived from Sanchez’s love for mixed martial arts – the UFC in particular. In trying to find a martial art that provided good notions of self-defense with a proven record in cage-fighting, Alan discovered grappling – a fun and realistic combat style that provided the added bonus of not including punches to the face.
At the age of 18, in October 2014, Alan joined a 10th Planet affiliate gym in San Mateo, CA, where he met coach Adam “Big Red” Sachnoff. Adam became a big reference in Sanchez’s jiu-jitsu development, and the person responsible for the young Californian’s promotions from white to black belt (the latter earned in 2020).
