🥋 What class do you teach?

⏳ How long have you been training?

🔥 Favorite submission or technique?
footwork and head movement

🎤 One of the most interesting things you’ve done?
One of the most interesting things I’ve ever done started with nothing more than YouTube videos and a cheap pair of boxing gloves. Fresh out of high school, I was headed down a path that wasn’t leading anywhere good. On a random day, I decided to teach myself how to box. What started as training alone in my garage quickly became something that completely changed my life. After just eight months of boxing, I stepped into the cage for my first MMA fight. Even after my first loss, I was hooked. Combat sports gave me purpose, discipline, confidence, and a direction I desperately needed. Training truly saved me, and ever since that first day, I’ve fallen in love with every aspect of the sport. Now I have the opportunity to pass that passion on by coaching others, and that’s something I’ll never take for granted.
