OUR STORY
The Swampfox Jiujitsu Legacy
Professor Spencer Selmon
Coach Spencer Selmon is the owner and head instructor of Swampfox Jiu-Jitsu. After serving as the academy's General Manager for several years, he purchased the school in 2023 with a simple mission: build a place where anyone—regardless of age, experience, or athletic ability—can discover everything Jiu-Jitsu has to offer.
His own journey started much like many of his students. Looking for a positive change in his life, Spencer found Jiu-Jitsu and quickly realized it was about much more than learning to fight. It gave him confidence, discipline, purpose, and a community that pushed him to become a better version of himself. That experience continues to shape the way he teaches today.
As a black belt, Spencer believes great coaching is about more than producing skilled grapplers. His goal is to help every student build confidence, solve problems under pressure, develop resilience, and enjoy the process of learning. Whether you're stepping onto the mats for the very first time or preparing for high-level competition, you'll find a welcoming environment built around growth, encouragement, and hard work. Under Spencer's leadership, Swampfox Jiu-Jitsu has become one of the Pee Dee area's fastest-growing academies, offering programs for adults, children, homeschool families, women, and competitors. He is passionate about creating innovative programs that make learning fun while maintaining the highest standard of instruction.
Above all, Spencer wants every person who walks through the doors to feel like they belong. His hope is that Jiu-Jitsu impacts your life the same way it transformed his.
"We're not just building better Jiu-Jitsu. We're building better people."
