Travis Stevens (born February 28, 1986) is a judoka from United States who competed in 2008 Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics.[1] He competes in the men's half-middleweight (-81 kg) division.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics, he lost to eventual gold medalist Ole Bischof in the third round, before losing to Tiago Camilo in the repechage.[2]
At the 2012 Summer Olympics he again lost to 2008 gold medalist Ole Bischof, this time in the semi-finals by judges' decision. Stevens was then beaten in the bronze medal match by Canada's Antoine Valois-Fortier.[1][3] Travis also holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under John Danaher. Danaher rewarded Stevens his black belt on November 19, 2013.
An early start at the age of 6 enabled him to acquire a vast amount of knowledge in judo and other martial arts. Travis is an outstanding athlete in the sports of judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In judo he is currently ranked top 5 in his weight class[when?] and he is considered a great male judo athlete.[citation needed]. He has many accomplishments in both sports. Stevens trains at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City with several elite athletes. He has also opened up his own school in Boston, Massachusetts on January 12, 2013. Travis also teaches at Renzo Gracie Fort Lee in New Jersey.
