Carlson Gracie Paramount
About
Teaching for over 15 different years, I am passionate about teaching. Being one of the only females in the US that has competed at the professional level in all 3 major combat sports: Muay Thai, Boxing, and MMA, I have proven experiences. I can teach the most effective and efficient moves and training strategies, as well as help you to develop your own game.
Our school also has a professional level Brazilian trained Jiu Jitsu black belt with a direct training pedigree from the Gracie family.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I get to know their training experience. Then, I let them show me what they know first, as a sort of pre-assessment.
From there, we work on the basic fundamentals--fighting stance/posture, jabs, cross, defense: blocking, headmovement
Once we establish a good starting point for basics, we will work into a routine in which you can make improvements on your own and that you can share with others.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
2 professional MMA bouts
18 amateur kickboxing bouts
1 Pro Muay Thai bout
4 professional boxing bouts
