Our kids program is led by people who’ve put the time in — on the mat, in competition, and in front of a class. They know what they’re doing, and they know how to bring it down to a kid’s level.
A former New Zealand champion with a successful fight career, Katie brings real competition experience and genuine passion to coaching the next generation. She teaches kickboxing and grappling fundamentals in a structured, supportive environment — building confidence and skill alongside discipline, resilience, and hard work. Katie isn’t just shaping fighters; she’s helping kids find the grit to take on whatever life throws at them.
Mike leads our Kids Advanced class for students ready to take their grappling deeper. He combines technical depth with the patience to break complex Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu down into pieces kids can actually use — helping them progress from learning fundamentals to confidently applying them, against real resistance, on the mat.
Tim joins Katie on Thursdays. With a strong grounding in BJJ fundamentals and a calm, steady teaching style, he helps kids build technique, control, and confidence one drill at a time. Tim’s focus is on sound mechanics and good training habits — the foundation everything else gets built on.
