Hello!
Coach Vic here! Happy 11 years TBI.
I first taught classes under the TBI name about 12 years ago but was focused mainly on private clients. It wasn’t until 11 years ago that I decided to go on my own. I’ve rented other spaces, taught classes in parks, to my own retail spot on Centinela, to Venice, and now finally on Grand View. Sustainable growth/Sustainability is a cornerstone of our ethos here at TBI and am so happy and grateful to be doing what I do with the group that I get to do it with. So thank you all for being a part of our history!
Start small but dream BIG!
Vamos TBI!
re: IFMA World Championships
I’m at a loss of words for how to describe my respect and admiration for Coach Erin’s bravery. She is consistently out there fighting the best in the world, going up against Turkey in the Semi-Finals and losing due to a cut underneath the eyebrow. Turkey being last years gold medalist for the division, the fight between the two was very pragmatic and calculated.
My stomach in twists and knots as a spectator. I always worry about them in the ring even though they are more than capable of handling themselves. I’m just INSPIRED by her and by everyone here.
Inspired to try my best to be a better coach and more knowledgeable in the sport.
“If I want to train A-Class athletes, I have to become an A-Class coach’
It’s unfortunate we couldn’t see Coach Jeannie in there but alas, ‘C’est La Vie’. There’s always next year.
Thank you to everyone at home for all your support. To all our training partners, sponsors and everyone else I might have missed, THANK YOU. Both Coach Jeannie and Coach Erin will be taking a few months off from competing for some much needed and deserved R&R.

That’s around ~15 fights in this year alone!
I think we went 11-4 too.
NOT BAD.
All these things NOT possible without the support of our community.
And that includes our sponsors!
Because of our sponsors:
TBI has had the opportunity to head to the World Championships for its second year in a row.
So THANK YOU! We are always so grateful of everyone’s support.
In the last year, we have basically doubled in size, so our market has grown significantly!
As a patron, you can be a part of the team’s achievement and success even if you have limited availability to directly help train with the athletes. Each win belongs to the entire gym community and its sponsors.
This is a great to promote yourself or your business!
You are also supporting a local Los Angeles native small business with a large online and in-person demographic, which serves as a potential opportunity to promote your own business’ products or services.
