Michael Lee Fowler[13] is an American martial artist who is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.

In addition to a number of major competitive achievements, Fowler is notable for the speed at which he attained the rank and is, according to some sources, the 3rd fastest American on record to do so.

He is head instructor at North Shore Jiu Jitsu Club in Haleiwa, Hawaii.

[16] Fowler’s meteoric grappling career began shortly thereafter, winning numerous private tournaments such as Grapplers Quest and achieving a Pan-American championship as a blue belt.

[19] In 2007, Fowler was invited to the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship, a prestigious Submission Grappling event where despite ultimately placing 4th overall, he defeated the legendary Renzo Gracie and Saulo Ribeiro, only losing to the equally elite Marcelo Garcia by guillotine and Andre Galvao by points.
