Josh is a martial arts educator and coach who bridges live training on the mats with evidence-based teaching. A 4th degree Taekwondo black belt and dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, he’s spent years running classes, mentoring students, and helping instructors move beyond rote drills to training that actually works under pressure.
He holds a Master of Education in Teaching & Learning from Liberty University and runs Combat Learning, where he breaks down ecological dynamics, constraints-led coaching, and games-based training for combat sports. Through his writing and podcast work with Gymdesk, Josh turns coaching science and gym-owner stories into practical ideas you can use to run better classes and build a stronger martial arts school.
