Coach Mike Reyes
Hi,
My name is Michael Reyes I have been training martial arts consistently for the last 16yrs. I started training with an MMA club in Southern California focused on wrestling and striking. Eventually I joined Kings MMA in Huntington Beach, CA. I spent 6 years under Coach Rafael Cordeiro from Brazil and a chute box lineage. In that time, I trained heavily in striking specifically for MMA. I was offered a hand full of fights by Rafael Cordeiro himself, I trained alongside and was a regular fight camp training partner for multiple professional & amateur fighters including Beneil Dariush, Nolin Ticman & Jessica Penne to list a few. At the time I lacked a submission game so besides a canceled amateur fight, I made the choice to decline the fights I was offered and took a coaching & sparring partner approach. During that period I also spent 2 years working with many fighters out of my garage gym while running a striking cardio class a few days a week. Since I moved to Arizona in 2016 I started focusing mostly on No-Gi Jiu Jitsu and I currently train at 10th Planet Jiu jitsu Phoenix under John Botello for the last 8 years as a purple belt. I have a deep passion for teaching and invest my self in to every one of my students. Iβve been with my amazing wife for over 24yrs and we have a beautiful 11yr old daughter. Besides family time, I also enjoy hunting, fishing and everything outdoors. Feel free to go on my Instagram @Mikereyes1982 to get a good idea of who I am. Hope to see you on the mats!
