FREDDY MEDELLIN: Chief Instructor/Owner
Freddy started his training in Corpus Christi in 1994 with Stacy Jorgensen. Starting in the traditional arts and then moving on to kickboxing because of the practicality of it and his growing love for the sport. He continued to improve his stand up game while practicing submission wrestling in a time when not many were training mixed martial arts. In 1999 Freddy decided to move to Seattle to train at the highly respected and world known Maurice Smith Kickboxing and Submission Center in the Seattle area. Shortly after he began trainin at MSKSC, he was asked to train with and fight for the Maurice Smith amatuer fight team. After his first fight, Maurice began to take some stock in Freddy and began asking him to join in the training with the pro fighters that were training at the gym. At this time Freddy began training with Maurice, Roman Roytberg, T.K, Francisco Filho, Glaube Feitosa, Ivan Salaverry, Josh Barnett,
Randy Couture and many other world class fighters that would come to train with Maurice and T.K. He also continued to train with his amateur fight team members; Tristan Wit, Scott Shaffer, John Polakowski and others. In this time Freddy began to absorbe as much technique and fight knowlege as possible. He continued to train with all of these guys and more while working his way through the amateur ranks in his persuit to be a professional fighter. On March 1st 2003, Freddy had his first professional fight and continued to train with some of the greatest fighters that are still dominating the fighting scene. His training continued with Mo, Roman and Tristan but he started getting more training hours and rounds in with the likes of Josh Barnett, Ivan Salaverry, Akira Shoji, Sakarai,
and many more elite fighters that visited A.M.C which was
now the new home of Maurice Smith and Team Mo. Freddy has
taken some time off from fighting to open his own gym and
help his students get up to speed on their goals and dreams,
but he will soon make make it back onto the fight scene again.
Freddy is the ONLY instructor in Corpus Christi that is
trained by and directly under a UFC Champion (Maurice Smith,
2 time UFC Champion).
