Hi, I'm Vincent Fields, a humble lifelong student of many martial arts styles and self-defense. I teach private lessons in self-defense and mixed martial arts at my training facility in Marion IL. I have trained many years with many of the best fighters and trainers in the world. I have professional no holds barred fighting experience and have competed in over 200 matches in various combat sports in the US, Japan and Thailand. I have been teaching self-defense and MMA for many years to new students, fighters, law enforcement personnel, and various other groups. I ran the SIU Martial Arts Club/ PE class for 5 1/2 years from 1999 to 2005. I currently teach self-defense to many law enforcement officers as part of my full time job in law enforcement and I teach private lessons to many students at my private dojo.
All ages and skill levels are welcome to come train with me. It is my goal to make sure that any student has fun, gets a good/ safe workout, and gain a realistic ability to fight resisting opponents in any situation in all ranges of combat. The techniques I use come from the arts of Jeet Kune Do, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai Kickboxing, catch wrestling, Kali, Russian Sambo, wrestling, and western boxing. I will pair you up with someone around your size and skill level, and you will quickly begin learning and applying techniques in all ranges of combat in a very realistic manner.
If you would like more information or would like to get started training please send me your name and number via the contact form and I'll call you ASAP. I don't have my actual number listed on the dojo locator website as I'd prefer it remain private. Thanks for your interest.
