Meet the Fighting Fit coaches
Martial arts can feel complicated when you’re beginning. Our experienced coaches make it understandable with clear instruction, thoughtful feedback, and a structured path that helps you improve one class at a time.
Meet the Coaches ↓Our coaching standard
Knowing how to perform a technique is only part of coaching. A great coach must also know how to explain it clearly, recognize what each student needs, and build skills in a sequence that makes sense.
At Fighting Fit, our coaches take teaching seriously. Classes are planned with a clear purpose, techniques are broken into manageable steps, and students receive useful feedback they can apply immediately.
You won’t be expected to figure everything out on your own. We’ll help you understand what you’re doing, why it works, and what to focus on next.Meet the team

Nutrition coaching
Coach Sarah helps members lose weight without relying on restrictive diets or short-term fixes. Her coaching focuses on practical habits, personalized guidance, and giving people the tools to make their results sustainable for life.
A consistent path forward
Every Fighting Fit coach brings their own experience, personality, and perspective to the mat. They also teach from a shared curriculum designed to give students a clear and consistent path forward.
Our coaches create their own lesson plans within that curriculum, allowing them to draw from their individual strengths while keeping classes connected to the larger training program. You may hear a technique explained differently or encounter a new drill from one coach to another, but the underlying principles and standards remain consistent.
This gives students the best of both worlds: a structured system they can build upon and a team of coaches who offer different ways to understand and apply what they’re learning.Beginner-friendly by design
Most Fighting Fit members did not arrive with years of martial arts experience. Many had never trained before, had not exercised consistently in a long time, or simply felt unsure about walking into their first class.
Our coaches understand how to meet students at that starting point. They’ll show you what to do, help you adjust when something feels unfamiliar, and give you room to learn without expecting you to keep up with someone who has trained for years.
You’ll still be challenged. You’ll also receive the instruction, encouragement, and time you need to grow into that challenge.Questions about our coaches
What to expect from the team and the different ways you can receive coaching at Fighting Fit.
Yes. You may train with several Fighting Fit coaches depending on the classes you attend. Each coach brings their own experience and teaching style while working from the same shared curriculum, giving you consistent instruction along with different perspectives that can help you learn.
Yes. Our coaches teach from a shared Fighting Fit curriculum that gives students a clear and consistent path forward. Each coach creates their own lesson plans within that curriculum, allowing them to introduce different drills, explanations, and insights while teaching the same underlying skills and principles.
Often, yes. Let your coach know about any injuries, limitations, or movements that concern you before class begins. When possible, they can suggest adjustments or alternative exercises that allow you to participate safely. Our coaches cannot diagnose or treat an injury, so you may need guidance from a qualified medical professional before training.
Absolutely. Questions are an important part of learning. If something is unclear, let your coach know so they can explain the technique differently, demonstrate it again, or help you identify what needs to change. During instruction, we ask students to listen so the class can stay focused and on schedule. Once the coach opens the floor for questions or everyone begins practicing, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask for help.
Often, yes. Private and semi-private lessons are available for students who want more personalized coaching, focused technical development, or additional help with a specific area of their training. Availability varies by coach. Speak with your preferred coach or Coach Forrest to discuss your goals and find the right option.
Yes. Coach Sarah is a certified nutrition coach who offers personalized guidance for members who want help with weight loss, eating habits, and creating results they can maintain long term.
