Centennial, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or both?Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai Hometown Paonia, Colorado Current Rank Black Belt What year did you start training? 2008 How did you get started? I worked at a bar with Eliot and he invited me in to train after I told him about an amateur MMA fight I did on my own. What's the biggest challenge you've encountered in your training? I think for me the biggest challenge was being super competitive and trying to win in the academy rather than trying to learn and get better. My instructors were mainly Professors Amal, Eliot, and Chaun, and they helped me learn to check my ego and train with the intention of improving my techniques. What's your favorite thing about training/ teaching? At BJJ there's something for everyone. People like me who were overly aggressive and needed a positive outlet get a brutal ego check and learn how to be ok with losing and gain confidence to be ok with tapping early and often. For others who might be struggling with confidence, BJJ helps you learn to protect yourself and to stand up for yourself. I love seeing the transformation of timid, shy, or even broken people come in and grow stronger and more comfortable in their own skin. What are your personal goals on and off the mat? On the mat my personal goal is to teach someone from white all the way to black belt. Off the mats my goal is always to try to leave people, places, and things a little better than when I found them. Often times I fail at this, but the times I'm successful are so rewarding that I can't help but continue to try my best to accomplish this goal every day. What's something people might be surprised to learn about you? I was very skinny and nerdy in high school. I didn't have many friends, and I got picked on a lot. I didn't do myself any favors by joining band, choir, knowledge bowl, etc., but getting bullied throughout school was probably the number one contributing factor to me starting to train Jiu Jitsu. Although I initially did it to become a fighter, I have grown into a much more level-headed martial artist over the years and I'm grateful for all the experiences that lead me to where I am today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/d9f105fe-97f8-41c2-9a41-aada0d66633d/Mike.jpg Team - Michael Tousignant Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Both Hometown: Tulsa, Oklahoma Current Rank: Black Belt, Black Shirt What year did you start training? 2003 How did you get started? While overseas in Korea at my first duty station. A captain in my unit was a blue belt and he would teach me things here and there and we would just roll a lot! What's the biggest challenge you've encountered in your training, and how did you overcome it? Injuries. I adjusted the training to what I could do at the time and kept on moving. I was determined to never stop pushing and I wasn't going to let being injured stop my progress. There is always a way to improve. What's your favorite thing about training or teaching, and why? My favorite thing is how it makes people feel (myself included). I have never found anything that makes me feel the way that training and teaching does. It changes you in a way that most recreational activities could never dream to. What are your personal goals on and off the mat? I just always want to be getting better. Better and Jiu Jitsu and striking obviously, but also better at things like leadership, empathy, humility, etc. I just want to live out my full potential, and thanks to Easton...I'm pretty sure I'll get there eventually! What's something people might be surprised to learn about you? I was an Army Medic for seven years before I began teaching martial arts, and the Army is what brought me here to Colorado. https://www.martialartsmoves.org/mission daily 0.75 2024-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/1bc5befa-59eb-4f80-8931-458534a1d7f4/MAM https://www.martialartsmoves.org/student-application daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/leadership daily 0.75 2024-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/1657114441744-QQZOL9KORIB6AF9F4NM4/Copy+of+Sarah+Rochniak+HQ.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/1657221340171-FURWVWEVSS9W4H5B51TI/Mike+Tousignant.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/1657221383165-M4HQ4OVG195EBAN2GJGF/Ethan+photo.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/9e1833e5-0417-4f2d-bebd-8d8bf8af09ac/peter.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/e36e41cc-5a3e-4a0b-b83b-2ceaf72022d6/IMG_3205.jpg Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/2ae7485a-a0ee-4314-9018-ec688dc5a8a9/Ashley.jpg Leadership https://www.martialartsmoves.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2022-09-14 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/sign-up daily 0.75 2022-08-08 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/financial-reports daily 0.75 2023-01-23 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/donate daily 0.75 2023-04-18 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/donate/donations monthly 0.5 2023-04-18 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/donate/merchandise monthly 0.5 2023-04-18 https://www.martialartsmoves.org/donate/p/unisex-hoodie-1 monthly 0.5 2023-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625769db24bc8b3565f51a3e/1680813888530-GMH9H000MWWJHRU7QPME/unisex-heavy-blend-hoodie-black-front-642f2f3719325.jpg Donate -
