David Kendrick
MMA Instructor
David is a passionate instructor, with 9 years experience in mixed martial arts.
Originally starting in traditional martial arts, David studied Shotokan (Karate)
before transitioning into Muay Thai, Boxing, Submission Grappling and Ju-Jitsu.
His personal fighting career was cut short when a brain tumor threatened his life,
but he survived and used the incident to make him stronger and to fuel his passion
and love for the sport even more.
With a strong emphasis on fitness and conditioning, David incorporates the best of
both traditional and modern martial arts to his training regimen. His goal is to
craft a fighter that is physically and mentally strong, well-conditioned, and can
dominate the fight from either a stand-up or ground position.
David is also passionate about discipline and instilling character into those he
trains. The martial arts are as much about self-discipline and self-control as they
are blocking, punching and kicking. Mixed martial arts is no exception. David believes
MMA fighters can be “tough” while still upholding traditional values and serving
as a positive role model in the community.
