About Our Founder
Mr. Joshua Frye has served southwest Florida as an educator in Lee County Schools for the past 14 years. He taught all grade levels from Elementary School, Middle School and High School, eventually earning math teacher of the year in 2010.
Mr. Frye started his martial art training back in 1985 outside Chicago, IL in traditional martial arts. He earned his black belt in 1990 but wanted more out of his training. He focused on kickboxing but eventually fell in love with reality based martial arts.
Israeli self-defense opened his eyes to real combat training and what it takes to be a martial athlete. From there his training lead him to diversify and focus on Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing. Mr. Frye is a 4th Degree Black belt in traditional martial arts, a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Head Muay Thai Instructor in 2 systems, and a HaganaH Nucleus Instructor.
No matter the experience and lifelong journey in the martial arts, Mr. Frye loves to teach and coach students. It is truly a passion for him to be able to steer people down the martial artist lifestyle. Mr. Frye believes and has the confidence that anyone can succeed in any of our programs while having a lot of fun doing so.
