Bryan’s passion for martial arts started at a very young age.  He was introduced to martial arts by his father who owned a large collection of kung fu films and made Bryan practice the strikes and movements as they watched the movies.  At age 14, Bryan joined his high school boxing club, where he learned the fundamentals of boxing.  At 18, he started training Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in addition to boxing throughout various gyms throughout the DMV and across the country.  Bryan had the privilege to train under world renowned MMA coach and K-1 World Champion, Duane “BANG” Ludwig.  Bryan was competing on the national level in Muay Thai before a series of injuries put a hold on his fighting career, which turned him to coaching. He quickly realized he had a passion for teaching martial arts and the sweet science.  Bryan offers a wealth of knowledge on most forms of martial arts and striking and thrives on helping people reach their goals, whether it be personal or professional.
