Meet Our Martial Arts Instructors in Madison, WI

Who’s in Your Corner Matters

At Fight Prime Training Center, we take pride in offering one of the strongest coaching teams in Madison, WI — and possibly the Midwest. Our instructors are more than fighters. They’re mentors, teachers, and guides who bring a mix of elite experience and real-world application to every class.


Whether you’re training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, Muay Thai or MMA, you’ll learn from people who live what they teach — and care about your progress.

  • Lineage: Under Professors Luiz Claudio & Thiago Veiga – LCCT, Rickson Gracie Lineage
  • Law Enforcement Officer

Gabriel H. brings decades of experience both on and off the mat. As a high-ranking BJJ black belt and active law enforcement officer, Gabriel combines the technical excellence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with real-world insight into conflict management and self-defense.

His teaching is marked by:


  • Clear, technical instruction
  • A deep respect for tradition and lineage

Whether you're training to compete, defend yourself, or grow in the art, Gabriel sets a powerful standard in every session he leads.

Why Our Instructors Stand Out

  • Proven Credentials - From black belts to licensed tactical instructors, our coaches have the certifications and field experience that matter.


  • Real-World Application - Many of our instructors come from law enforcement, military, or competition backgrounds — meaning the techniques you learn have been pressure-tested.


  • Teaching First, Ego Last - You’ll never be “just another student” here. Our instructors take the time to help you understand, adapt, and improve — no matter your experience level.



  • Community-Focused - Our team fosters a respectful, inclusive environment where everyone is pushed to get better — together.
