Hi, I am Matt Cox MMA Fighter by night, school counselor and assistant wrestling coach by day. My background in MMA Fighting started with my high school wrestling career where I was a member of a very successful and traditionally tough Blue Springs Wildcat Wrestling squad. After winning a Missouri State Championship my Senior year, I attended CMSU and wrestled for the Mules. At the collegiate level I earned Academic and All-American honors. I am now an assistant wrestling coach at Blue Springs High School where I have been a teacher and counselor for the Blue Springs School District for 14 years.
My motivation for pursuing a career in MMA fighting is to build upon my skills as a wrestler and hopefully secure a higher means of support for my ultimate motivator - my family. To that end, as I make the transition from amateur to professional MMA fighter, I am always seeking Angel or Corporate Sponsorship.
In addition to my fighting I have also begun to give personal instruction set up by appointment only on any given night of the week. I have found with a very short amount of time set aside for one on one instruction that I am able to increase not just the knowledge base of the discipline the student wants to learn but his confidence in taking those skills from the mats of the practice room out into his/her everyday life. My students range in age from six where wrestling and jiu-jitsu are the favorite, to adults of all ages who may be into all aspects of MMA competition. Its up to you what you'd like to learn I will teach, coach, and mentor. If you're unsure exactly what it is you would like to study I will put together a customized program of training where learning is the objective and the fundamentals are the foundation.
