Smith Cliffton

Smith is an avid fitness, nutrition, and martial arts fan. He has participated in sports his entire life but when he took his first wrestling class in high school he found something that he was truly passionate about, grappling. Smith wrestled for Rappahannock High School from 8th through 12th grade, and was team captain as a senior, and suffered a severe knee injury that year. After a full recovery, Smith returned for a year as an assistant coach.

Since the opening Stonewall Abbey Wellness, Smith has been able to continue his passion for grappling through Totality Martial Arts Academy’s Jiu-Jitsu program. He is looking forward to competing in Gi & no Gi Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. Smith is a natural with kids and brings a light hearted and playful approach to the Youth Program.
