Private Lessons & Coaches in Lake Norman Of Catawba, NC

I was born in North Carolina but moved back to Mexico when I was 2. I started playing tennis when I was 4, and by age 6, I was training with Guillermo Stevens, a former pro who was ranked 302 in the world. That’s where I started developing my game, played at a pretty competitive level, competed in regional tournaments throughout Mexico and the U.S., and eventually played in the Federación Mexicana de Tenis (FMT) 14-and-under division. At 16, I moved back to the U.S., still competing seriously. I later committed to play D1 for 1 year before I tore and dislocated my shoulder. The injury gave me a new perspective, and that’s when I started getting more into coaching and helping others grow in the sport.

"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.
