New Instructor Blackbelt Given


We would like to announce that Head Coach Jeff Robison has given longtime student and Coach Josh Geers his Club MMA instructor black belt!

On Wednesday, May 4th the lobby began to fill up with Club MMA students and Josh's family while he was coaching a typical Junior Jabber class. He kept glancing back with confusion but it all made sense when Coach Robison (to josh's surprise) pulled out an instructor black belt and presented it to Coach Geers.


Josh started with Club MMA as a BJJ student, but showed immediate potential after always being the first person to help a student in need. We really liked that quality in Josh and so when the school was in need of additional help, we offered Josh an instructorship position. Josh spent 50 hours a week at regular job and another 15 hours each week helping out and making time for extra training to learn how to coach. When the time was right Club MMA hired Josh as our first full time employee. His addition to the Club MMA staff has been a great experience-you can see and hear his passion when he is on the mat. Mr. Geers is one of the lead Club MMA childrens program coaches. He is currently training and coaching full time, and has found a home with Club MMA.

Thank you Josh for all your hardwork and dedication!
