About Coach Greg Hustad

About Us

Sunnah Strength was founded by Coach Greg Hustad, an American sports and fitness coach with over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. Coach Greg began his athletic journey as a competitive swimmer, earning multiple regional and sectional titles. He later transitioned into wrestling during high school, where he was recognized as the Most Valuable Player (MVP).

His passion for fitness continued into college, where he worked as a NASM-certified Personal Trainer and lifeguard. During this time, he also discovered rock climbing, a sport he quickly fell in love with. Greg began teaching climbing and bouldering to both adults and children, eventually assisting with the youth national team.

In 2007, Coach Greg began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Redzovic—a black belt under Carlos Gracie Jr. and the first American representative of the Gracie lineage—alongside his brother Adem Redzovic and cousin Idriz Redzovic. After moving overseas, he continued his training under multiple black belts, including Stefan Zoll, Renato Tavares, Karim Shah, and more, all under the mentorship of the world-renowned Ricardo Liborio—a 7th-degree coral belt under Carlson Gracie, IBJJF world champion, and co-founder of American Top Team.

In 2023, after years of dedication, Greg returned to the U.S. and was awarded his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by Eddie Redzovic.

Training Philosophy

Greg is a big proponent of functional strength and nutrition over aesthetics and is a fond of non-traditional modalities for training such as strong man exercises, plyometrics ,agility training, swimming and the aforementioned sports as well.

"I understand that some people want to look good in the mirror but honestly that doesn't mean much if you're not doing the right things, plus being able to bench press or curl a lot isn't necessarily going to help you in the street. I believe in training in a way that is going to improve your life in all aspects while also giving you valuable and practical skills."
