Joel is our resident Muay Thai and MMA coach, bringing a diverse resume of martial arts experiences to the table. He is a two stripe purple belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu, a 4x bantamweight champion in MMA, a Dual Arizona State Muay Thai Champion, and a former high school wrestler.
Joel loves teaching because he knows what it’s like to walk into a “fight gym” and feel intimidated. Everyone’s had that pit in their stomach walking onto the floor for the first time, and he can’t wait to show you the ropes, make you comfortable, and build your confidence as a fighter.
When he’s not at the gym, he’s selling houses in his day job as a realtor, playing with one of his four massive dogs, or eating junk food (assuming it’s not weight cut time).

Experts reckon that the ideal age to start a MMA practice is between the ages of 13-16, when the adolescent body is growing and learning to identify with the adult body. To start MMA training, the child must have a background in fitness, strong muscles, motivation and strong immunity.
Before you start, you must learn the basics of MMA training – endurance, grappling and striking. Your body must build a high endurance level to survive even a few minutes of Mixed Martial Arts. You can't call yourself a strong Mixed Martial Arts fighter unless you understand the nuances of grappling
How long do I need to train before my first fight? This varies from coach to coach. For striking fights such as Muay Thai or boxing, roughly 6 months to a year of training followed by a long fight camp is recommended. MMA fights require a bit more experience as you need to be proficient in multiple fighting styles.
