Boxing was my first love starting in my late teens well into my thirties. I have been the head boxing instructor at Gracie Tampa South for 5 years.
My extensive competition and coaching background has led me to explore every workout paradigm imaginable. I am also a NASAM Certified Personal Trainer, that has worked with all levels of clientele, from professional athletes to weekend warriors.

Can UFC BJJ finally make professional grappling a real career—or will it divide the sport and weaken ADCC?
In the new episode, Kevin sits down with longtime friend, ADCC veteran and Grappling Academy owner Dan Martinez to talk about:
• UFC BJJ versus ADCC
• Why elite grapplers still struggle to make a living
• The problem with viral Instagram techniques
• Whether future champions will need to start as children
• How competitors transition into coaches and gym owners
• Preventing cult-like leadership inside jiu-jitsu schools
This one is honest, opinionated and built on decades of experience inside the sport.

New breakdown is up.
I rolled with a high-level brown belt leg locker, then broke down the round so you can see what is actually happening before the leg attacks become dangerous.
This is a short one — about 6 minutes — but there are some important lessons in it for anyone who trains Jiu Jitsu, especially if leg locks still feel confusing or chaotic.
