Mixed Martial Arts Instructors


	Fighthouse MMA instructor Plinio Cruz beating Jay Silva

Our trainers have considerable knowledge not only of mixed martial arts, but also in the areas of nutritional science, strength and conditioning, and in coaching and refereeing for various types of combat sports competition.

Fighthouse welcomes Plinio Cruz, an expert in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Plinio is a professional MMA fighter and member of Jorge "Macaco" Patino's Gold Team USA. He is currently a brown belt and started training at the age of 16 under Master Jorge "Macaco" Patino's gold team in São Paulo Brazil. Not only is he a qualified trainer, he currently competes as a professional fighter.

After 6 months of training he entered his first tournament, The São Paulo State Championship. At this tournament he placed third. After this tournament and years later, he entered this tournament again and took first place. Since this time he has captured many others titles and won numerous championships.

After watching some of Macacos's MMA fights in Brazil early in his career, he was immediately inspired and knew that this sport is where his heart was. At this point he began training very heavily and started to learn from one of the best in the sport today. He is very skilled and well rounded as a fighter and trainer. Plinio entered the MMA Grand Prix and won the light heavyweight belt after only 2 fights.

As an instructor he works well with the students and helps to teach them discipline and respect both inside and outside of the training center. Technique is very important to Plinio and will be good for those who wish to take it to the next level.
