Learn From Pro Fighter Thiago Belo
Your instructor, Thiago Belo, is an active professional MMA fighter ranked #1,681 in North America, competing in Bantamweight and Featherweight divisions throughout Florida and the US Southeast. Thiago brings elite-level technique, cage experience, and proven coaching ability to every class.
Training with someone who’s actually stepped into the cage gives you insights and technical details you simply can’t get from instructors who’ve never competed. Thiago understands the difference between techniques that look good and techniques that actually work under pressure.
