Kit Perez
Wrestling Coach
"Meet Kit, aka “Coach Kit” – because “The Human Armbar” felt a little too dramatic.
​
A nationally accredited Wrestling and Grappling coach and referee (yes, he can legally argue with himself and win), Coach Kit is also a proud brown belt in Jiu-Jitsu – which basically means he’s fluent in strangulations and joint locks and mildly concerned parents.
​
When he’s not calling points or gently reminding kids that biting isn’t a takedown, he’s busy teaching young wrestlers how to shoot, sprawl, and smile through the sweat. Coach Kit believes in fun-first learning, games that secretly teach technique, and making sure every practice ends with at least one dramatic slow-motion takedown.
​
Coach Kit is passionate about helping the next generation fall in love with the sport – or at the very least, learn to balance in their stance without tipping over like sleepy flamingos."
