Responsibilities
Plan and deliver 1.5-hour fighting and mindset physical training sessions for trainees and staff with varying levels of experience.
Teach fundamentals (stance, footwork), clinch and takedown skills (break falls, clinch controls, takedowns and takedown defense, wall work), and ground fighting (positional dominance, submissions, returning to the feet) using approved curriculum.
Demonstrate techniques, observe performance, and give clear corrective feedback to improve proficiency.
Develop quarterly training progression plans, from fundamentals to advanced instruction, and submit them for approval.
Coordinate with the customer’s training officer to keep curriculum aligned and incorporate newly approved tactics, techniques, and procedures.

At least 5 years of professional or college-level fighting experience in at least four of these six disciplines: Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Judo, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai, covering all three phases (standup, transition, and groundwork). Equivalent elite experience also qualifies, such as NCAA Division I or II wrestling, Olympic-level judo or combative athletics, or service as a senior military or SOF combatives instructor.
At least 10 years of experience teaching or coaching these disciplines across beginner, amateur, and professional levels.
At least 5 years of experience planning, managing, and executing multiple fighting and mindset physical training programs.
