Joshua Halstead

Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt – Owner & Head Instructor

I have been training Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, judo, striking and submission grappling for the past 25 years. I have fought professionally in Muay Thai and MMA and now for the last 15 years have been teaching professional MMA and Muay Thai to fighters from Organization such as WEC, pride, K-1, King of the Cage, Gladiator Challenge, Bellator, UFC and many other fight organizations. I have had the privilege and honor to be taught and teach alongside such great MMA coaches as Romie Aram, Betiss Mansouri, Steven Martinez, William Sryiapai, Chad Davis and many others. I have a traditional Muay Thai stance on striking however I feel it adapts well to MMA. I have been taught traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the Checkmat lineage.
