For over 30 years, tennis has been an integral part of my life, encompassing roles as a junior and adult player. Not only have I excelled in my personal tennis journey, but I've also passed on the love for the sport by teaching my own children, one of whom now thrives as a D1 player at the university level. Additionally, I've had the privilege of coaching young talents at various skill levels, from imparting the basics to nurturing competitive players. Tennis isn't just a game; it's a legacy I continue to build through teaching and mentoring the next generation.
"Victor is really helpful. Listened to my goals and put together some drills to directly help with those goals.
Victor
Tournament winner that has been competing for years and 4.1 DUPR rating. Retired and playing pickleball almost everyday. My coaching style is suited to those that are either beginners or looking to break into the competitive scene. I take a calm approach to explain the game and the nuances required to be consistent. I have worked with students that are just trying to get started and those that are looking to win their first tournament (I've had former students win tournaments after just a few lessons of working together!) Let's improve your game.

Martial arts has been a passion of mine for my entire life. Currently, i am the head striking coach at Metrolina Martial Arts, and have been for 2 years. I have a competitive muay thai/kickboxing record of 9‐3. I'm ranked in 3 different martial arts including jiu jitsu, in which i also compete. I've had the privilege of training with legends of the sport, in the states and in Thailand. I'm interested helping those who are interested in learning about, and participating in, combat sports.
"If you’re looking for a striking coach who actually gives a damn about your individual journey, Isaiah is the man. I didn’t exactly walk into the gym as a natural athlete. I came in overweight with a physical disability that I honestly thought would keep me from ever being effective at Muay Thai. Most coaches would have seen my limitations as a roadblock, but Isaiah saw them as a puzzle to solve. He didn't just give me generic combinations; he worked with me to modify my movements, ensuring I could train safely and effectively without aggravating my condition. Because of his patience and his high-level technical knowledge, I wasn't just able to lose a significant amount of weight—I actually learned how to strike. Whether you’re an elite competitor or someone just trying to get their health back on track like I was, he treats you with the same level of respect and dedication. I can’t recommend him enough.
