Bruno’s martial arts journey began in Sao Paulo, Brazil where he studied karate and judo as a kid. After moving to the states as a teen, he struggled with communication and confidence but found that those barriers disappeared on the mats - and he hasn’t stopped training since.
Bruno is a brown belt and an experienced BJJ competitor who has traveled the world to train with gi and no gi masters. His true passion is mentoring determined athletes who want to become champions on and off the mats.
When he’s not training, Bruno can be found cheering for his son at football games, hosting couch surfing visitors, and trading cryptocurrency.

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).
