Coach Dennis has been training for over 28 years and teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Submission Wrestling, Self-Defense, MMA and Fight Fitness classes as well as Private 1-on-1 Training. He started training boxing his freshman year in highschool for discipline, self-defense, and fitness. He then started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai, and Submission Wrestling in 2006 to lose weight and learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. He continues consistently training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Submission Wrestling, Self-Defense, MMA, Hot Yoga and Running. 

For Coach Dennis, training is like therapy, the gym is like his church, and members are staff are like family! m around people who are trying to better themselves, learn skills and help others. It's a lifestyle and I love it.

His favorite part of coaching is watching members completely transform as they crush their goals and set new ones! If you're just starting out, he encourages you to just show up and start training; the rest will take care of itself!

Outside of the gym, Dennis is a proud father to 3 amazing children and grandfather of one!
