Coaching Staff
Tanner Spilman
Owner/Head Coach | MMA, Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai
With over a decade of experience in combat sports and military service, I bring a disciplined, results-driven approach to training fighters of all levels. I holds a Purple Belt in Freestyle Jiu-Jitsu under Vlad Koulikov of Sambo Fusion and began my martial arts journey at the age of 14 with Jiu-Jitsu, adding boxing at 16. I competed actively from 18 to 23 before joining the U.S. Army, at age 20, where I have proudly served for the past 10 years and continue to serve on active duty.
I have been coaching MMA, boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and Muay Thai for 8 years. My coaching record speaks for itself—three out of four of my fighters who debuted in the last three years secured impressive victories, including two first-round finishes in under a minute. My Jiu-Jitsu students have earned gold, silver, and bronze medals in every tournament they’ve entered—six athletes, four events, countless standout performances.
I am committed to building well-rounded, confident fighters through a foundation of technique, discipline, and heart. Whether you're stepping into the cage or onto the mats for the first time, you’ll be guided by a coach who knows what it takes to win—both in competition and in life.
