“I do martial arts because it’s a fun way to stay in shape, a great way to relieve stress, and it allows me to be confident that I can defend myself. After receiving my second degree black belt in a Korean art called Hapkido I switched to focusing on Muay Thai kickboxing because I wanted to train in a more combative martial art. My other hobby is mountain biking the local trails here in Stillwater and Oklahoma City. My wife, two sons and I, originally from Southern California, moved to Stillwater for my work and we all love living here. I am honored to be part of the Elite Combat Systems family and a Muay Thai Kickboxing coach.“

“I do martial arts because I love the mental and physical discipline that it takes. Over time it transforms both your body and mind. I love the feeling of finally getting a technique right and being able to use it. I first started martial arts when I was 15 and never stopped. I like all the martial arts that Elite Combat Systems offers, but I particularly enjoy stand-up martial arts such as Pradal Serey and Western Boxing. I am the Kids Mighty Warriors instructor and really love being able to share my passion for martial arts with the kids in my class. In my free time I love to draw, play video games, hang out with my wife, and take naps with my cats.”

“I have been training at Elite Combat Systems since 2016. My training focuses on Jiu Jitsu, and I help teach Jiu Jitsu to the Kids Mighty Warriors class. I have a lot of knowledge about weightlifting and am happy to assist beginners and answer any questions. Outside of the gym, I teach science to 9th graders at Stillwater Junior High.”

“I started my martial arts journey after graduating high school. For most of my life I have competed in wrestling, and began learning martial arts as a way to complement my wrestling training. I currently teach Western Boxing classes at ECS. I am actively training to compete and look forward to beginning my fighting career.”

“I began training in Tomiki Ryu Aikido in 1995 under Sensei George Webber and obtained the rank of Ikkyu (1st degree brown belt). In 2008 I started training in Honto Ryu Aikido under Sensei James Harold. I have continued my training in Honto Ryu Aikido and I am currently a San dan (3rd degree black belt) in this style. I have also trained at Aikikai Aikido under Sensei Doug Hanson in Ponca City, OK. I have been teaching Aikido since I acquired the rank of shodan (black belt) in 2010.”

“I started my martial arts training in 2006 and shortly after began competing in MMA. In 2009 I began training at Elite Combat Systems under LaDell Elliott where I earned a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.”

Stephanie

Stephanie

My martial arts journey started when I was 5 years old. I started my training in Tae Kwon Do and then eventually started training Muay Thai, Boxing, Jeet Kune Do, Savate, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. One of the greatest joys of my life has been sharing martial arts with others and watching the students’ progress in their martial arts journey. I am an instructor in Boxing, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, Savate, and I teach the Women’s Self-Defense class. I am also a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist. Outside of the gym, I am a full time veterinarian. I love spending time with my family and our 3 dogs – 2 Pembroke Welsh Corgis and a German Shepherd.
