This past Sunday, Anderson’s students stepped onto the mats at and represented our academy with true heart, discipline, and courage. Competition is never just about medals, it’s about trusting your training, facing pressure head-on, and growing through every moment. Our team did exactly that, earning an incredible 7 medals and, more importantly, showing the character and resilience that defines our community.
We are beyond proud of the dedication, consistency, and mindset each of these athletes brings to training every single day. Watching that hard work translate onto the competition mats is why we do what we do.
Congratulations to:

In echoes of laughter and the overwhelming energy that was, is, and will always be Rob Kaman, we mourn the loss as friends, students, martial artists, and fans.

His contributions extend beyond his impressive record of 98 wins, 72 knockouts, and 9 world championships. Rob’s dedication, skill, and sportsmanship have left a lasting impression on the martial arts community.
For those who knew him well, he was a light, a smile, a giant gentle soul who cared with every inch of his body and mind, who gave freely and unconditionally. He loved the world around him and made every day not just his own, but the day of the people he was sharing time with.
As a teacher and coach, Rob was known for his generosity and passion for sharing his knowledge. He inspired countless fighters around the world, passing on his techniques and philosophies to future generations. His commitment to the sport and his students has helped shape the landscape of kickboxing and Muay Thai, contributing to the growth and development of these martial arts.
Rob’s legacy is not only defined by his success in the ring but also by his influence on those who knew him personally and those who were inspired by his career.
