Meet Our Coaches

Since my dad was the pee wee wrestling coach, I spent a lot of time in the wrestling room growing up.  I started coaching wrestling right out of high school, and have been a coach ever since.  I started martial arts in Jeet Kune Do, where I was greatly impacted by the martial arts philosophy of Bruce Lee.  I quickly gravitated to the grappling side and began studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Earning my black belt from Carlson Gracie Jr. was one of the most difficult, and most rewarding journeys of my life.  I have a passion for coaching, and I aim to create a supportive, yet challenging environment in my classes.  I am striving to increase grit in my students, and improve my community through my passion.

I grew up fighting at 9 years old in a small Panhandle Texas town.  I was a shy, timid girl who thought karate looked fun and like something I wanted to be apart of.  Over 21 years later I’ve traveled the world to compete 4 times as well as competed in several states (China, Turkey, Barbados, Bermuda, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Florida and more).  I earned a black belt in MMA and am currently working to earn another black belt in BJJ.  My mission is to bring others to live into their greatness through martial arts and fitness.  I love working with the youth of the community to inspire each student to positively impact the world around them, big or small.  We all matter, and I aim to help my students live a life they love and love the life they live.  My classes will push you mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.  We will laugh and create big lives together!
