SBG Blackbelt Coach Stephen Whittier will be visiting us again for a two day STRIKING seminar February 2-3! Stephen Whittier is the head coach at SBG East Coast. He holds a black belt in BJJ (under Roberto Maia) and the honorary title of Kru in Muay Thai, recently earning the rank of Red Mongkol (one of only four coaches in the country to achieve that rank). He is also a black belt in Jeet Kune Do, Shotokan Karate and a second degree black belt in Filipino Kali/Eskrima.
Stephen has coached and trained with elite fighters in Muay Thai, BJJ and MMA, including some UFC household names. But his coaching style is not solely for the elite. Stephen is also the developer of programs concentrating on coaching students over 40 in BJJ. The ability to coach some of the best fighters in the world, as well as beginners and older students, demonstrates not just unparalleled knowledge, but also an ability to teach that that is second to none.
The cost is $80 for the entire weekend and will run from 10am-noon, followed by an hour lunch break, and another session from 1-3pm. Students are asked to bring both boxing gloves and shinguards. This is a great opportunity for any student to improve their striking game no matter their skill or experience level!
Sign ups will be available at the front desk or at store.combatfitness.com. We look forward to having Coach Whittier back in Boise, and look forward to seeing you all February 2-3!
