  • BoxingHands, footwork, the jab that opens everything.
  • KickboxingStriking with every limb; the Showtime discipline.
  • WrestlingWho decides where the fight happens.
  • Brazilian Jiu-JitsuControl and submission on the ground.
  • TaekwondoRange, timing and the kicks nobody sees coming.
  • MMAAll of it, together, under one coach.
