“Heart of a Warrior”
MASTER & FOUNDER
EDISON B.
Master and Founder of Street Grapplers. Black belt in Budo-Ryuken and Senki Kaikan. Former Vale Tudo Welterweight Champion and Style versus Style Grand Prix Winner of tournaments organized by a local organization. Trained in Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Self-Defense Tactics, Submission Grappling and Close Quarters Combat. Leads training sessions on Saturdays and Tuesdays.
Growing up in the world of martial arts, I have developed a strong love for martial arts; the art of fighting and the code. Having earned my black belt in Budo-Ryuken and Senki Kaikan, being a former Vale Tudo Welterweight Champion and Style versus Style Grand Prix Winner of tournaments organized by a local organization and been trained in Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Self-Defense Tactics, Submission Grappling and Close Quarters Combat, I wanted to share my knowledge and aid those who share the same passion as mine; turning what I love into a profession.
Starting this team, I had a goal in mind to help those mainly in need of self defense. With the daily chaotic occurrences in our lives, it is essential to be able to have the right techniques and skills to defend ourselves and those we love.
Asides from that, we practice the code of ethics of the Bushido (Integrity, Respect, Courage, Honor, Compassion, Honesty, Loyalty) and integrate Kyokyushin into our training.
As of 2019, our team consists of about 50 individuals who have come together as a group with the same drive and passion for martial arts. A team of brutally skilled fighters with tenacity and discipline.
OSU!

MASTER & FOUNDER
"I love the culture of the community. Being part of SG has been an amazing experience. It has opened me to the possibilities that I did not think were possible. I like the different varieties of martial arts and the conditioning involved behind it. It always challenges me and challenge is what makes me grow. Master Edison and Coach Mark are great Instructors, the care that they put into their students and the effort behind is what makes Street Grapplers a strong Family."
-Lawrence M.
"The training is not what I expected. It is definitely one of the most difficult things I have ever done in MY life, but I can see how it is really worth it!"
-JTB
"I joined SG almost 3 years ago. I still remember the very first session when Master Edison waited for me at the MTR exit because I did not know my way around. To be honest, I was a bit nervous and intimidated at first, because everyone looked badass, and I only had limited Muay Thai experience.
After the first session, I immediately felt at ease because every member was so accommodating and courteous and with their best efforts made me feel at home. As time progressed SG enabled me to absorb so much knowledge and allowed me to develop and expand in many aspects of the arts, physically and mentally.
Now 3 years later I am very appreciative and grateful and proud to be a part of SG and looking forward to grow further together into the future. Osu!"

"3 years ago I was searching for a gym to continue practicing the martial arts that I have previously learned. I searched everywhere but most of the gyms in Hong Kong are too expensive and I can't afford it. I met master Edison and he invited me to try his MMA session. I joined them and most of the members are friendly and easy to get along with. We trained in different kinds of martial arts. I didn't like grappling because I preferred to only focus on my striking coz I thought I could not use it for self defense but several months later I learned a lot in grappling and started loving it. And now I’m proud to be part of the Street Grapplers team. They also helped me build my confidence, gain much better discipline, make more friends and learn a lot in mixed martial arts. Osu!"
-Floyd L.
"I had been looking for an MMA group that is affordable for a long time. Before joining SG, I had trained with other groups and coaches. In comparison, SG will test your skills and bring it to the next level. The training will really toughen you up (NO JOKE!) physically and emotionally. I know that there is still a long way for me to go but I know that I will learn from Master Edison, Coach Mark and the entire team as well. I am so happy to be a part of the Street Grapplers. It’s not just a team; it’s a family."
-Melou M.
“My main motive was to be in Shape(not Six/Eight Packs, just athletic) and to engage in some activities to vent out my anger and frustrations (you know how HK works). So, one fine day I decided to have a go and went to attend a class, then another class and another after another, eventually I didn't even realized, when I became the part of this "family".
I joined S.G as I was hoping to learn something related to Martial Arts. Instead of something, I learned a lot ~about my Strengths, Weaknesses, Positivity and most importantly the power of OSU.
In SG, you can feel that Aura, Aura of "Learning", day in and day out.
Thus, the change I have seen within a mere time, that is something which can't be expressed.
Respect, Admiration and little Recklessness
That is-Team S.G for you, 2 years and counting...”

“Street Grappler's is not just a team or group of Martial Arts... Street Grappler's is a family, a family of Great people”
-Lyra P.
"Since I joined SG, I have become braver and stronger and I am still continuing to be stronger because of the Master Edison and Coach Mark who show great skills in motivating us. Because of them I have gained more confidence and determination to continue training." -Gen N.
"The varying levels of training we get from SG together with the coaches breaking down the components of each move, help us maintain the desire to keep practicing and to expand our limits. When we can’t execute the moves correctly, we continue the drills and observe others. That way we are able to progress which gives us more motivation and keeps us looking forward to the next session to get us closer to reaching our goals!” -Sunday SG Group
"When I first joined SG, I felt like a mushroom compared o the others but at the same time I felt fired up because I knew that one day I could attain their skill level. All the members are nice once you get to know them. Master Edison and Coach Mark are great. They taught me everything I know and showed me how to use it when sparring. Every sparring session has been tough because everyone gives their best but it didn’t stop me from getting back up on my feet to fight again. Being a part of SG is one of the best things that has ever happened to me!" -Jerome M.
“Knowledge and skill is what I’ve earned from SG- I gained the full power strength of self confidence and I learned that there is something I can do if only I believe and trust. With the help of Master and Coach, there are so many things that I can do now that I wasn’t able to do before. Because of the entire SG Family, I am who I am now.”
