Tim has 15 years of professional mixed martial arts training, having started with Frank Shamrock and Maurice Smith in 1996! What truly separates this gym from any other is the ability to teach from ONLY the most successful techniques, combinations and transitions thanks to the American Top Team curriculum. MMA has truly evolved into one of the most elite athletic sports to date. AZ Elite has the facility, ability, experience, knowledge, and now best curriculum to build anyone into a lean, mean fighting machine.

His extensive background in Law Enforcement and Special Response Team (SRT/SWAT) added to over 12 years experience training and teaching Israeli Krav Maga give an edge in teaching effective self defense like no other in all of Northern Arizona can.

To top this off, Tim is well versed in fitness and nutritional science to help you make your weight goals. So MMA is not just for those wishing to be the next Title Holder in the UFC. It is also for moms, dads and their children wishing to get into fantastic shape without doing the same old workout day in, day out, week in, week out, month after month, year after year and see minimal results. You see, the cardio and strength aspects of a contact sport will burn more calories in one hour twice a week, than typical gym based workouts do in an hour or more daily!! The synergistic affect of training cardio by shadow boxing, then hitting a pad or bag, followed by working footwork and the "clinch", rounded out by Jiu Jitsu and calisthenics will cause every fiber of your being to increase it's metabolic rate - therefore you will burn calories for hours beyond your workouts!

So don't be shy, you know it sounds like a great time and science backs everything AZ Elite has to offer, as an effective workout. Go see AZ Elite for Elite Fitness, Professional MMA or Israeli Self Defense, in fact you should do it today.
