  • Owner, Head Instructor

    Evan began training in 2008 to settle a bet about whether or not he could be an MMA fighter. Taking an amateur MMA fight 5 weeks after the first class he ever took, he found out first hand that he had a lot to learn.

    Beginning strictly as an MMA athlete with more toughness and heart than technique and knowledge, his Mixed Martial Arts career, corporate career, and personal life have all had their share of ups and downs. Throughout the past 16 years, Evan has found value in the lessons he has learned through the martial arts. As his experience grew, he realized that the lessons learned through the martial arts are applicable in many situations encountered in both personal and professional life.

    Evan’s goal for the Fight For Tomorrow Academy is to truly embody the philosophy that “the true way of the martial arts is to train so that these skills are useful at any time, and to teach these skills so that they will be useful in all things.”

    Evan’s competitive accomplishments include:

    • Black Belt in Japanese Jiu-jitsu (Shodan)

    • Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

    • Locked in the Cage Bantamweight Champion

    • 2016 Team USA - Combat Sambo International Presidents Cup Champion (63kg / 139lbs)

    • 2023 ADCC fall open Masters Advanced champion

    • Competitor for CFFC (Cage Fury Fighting Championships), Ring of Combat, Locked in the Cage, XCC (Xtreme Caged Combat), F2W (Fight 2 Win grappling) and many other tournaments and events

  • Co-owner, Events Director

    Meghan is a long-time boxing practitioner with a strong appreciation for discipline, consistency, and technical fundamentals.

    She enjoys working with beginners and is especially passionate about teaching proper technique, footwork, and movement, helping new students build confidence and strong habits from the start. In class, you’ll hear her offering constant encouragement, celebrating progress, and keeping the energy positive and fun.

    Meghan manages the Path Submission Grappling Series events, bringing her experience in corporate strategy, operations, and event management into the gym and community. She is a 5x marathon finisher, and when she’s not on the mats, you’ll often find her cross-training in the weight room or exploring new running trails.

  • Jeff is a 1st Degree Black Belt (Shodan) with the United States Judo Association, a 2nd Degree Black Belt (Nidan) in Matsukazi Ryu Jiujitsu, and a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

    A wealth of knowledge on all aspects of grappling and well versed in the philosophy and history of the martial arts, Jeff enjoys sharing the benefits of the Way with everyone he meets. We are grateful to have him on our mats. Don’t hesitate to ask him for a roll if you see him at the academy.

  • Mike Started Training with Evan 8 years ago in both MMA and Brazillian JiuJitsu. A competitive grappler, Mike got his brown belt in 2023 Under Pat Sabatini and Eddy Torres of Team Taino Martial arts in new Jersey. Mike is an active member of Marquez MMA as well and brings a well rounded perspective with him to our academy. Mike is excited to be a part of our team to share his knowledge and love for the arts as a way to help empower others both on and off the mats.
