Joshua Arena

Josh has been involved with Martial Arts his entire life, starting with Karate when he was 6 and then moving into boxing when he was a teenager. While spending time in the ADF, Josh quickly found his feet in the grappling world of MMA and quickly made the decision to commit his time to making BJJ and grappling his full-time obsession. When Josh is not preparing to represent Pro Fitness MMA on the competitive grappling stage, he commits his time to making Pro Fitness MMA the family and community it is. As a full-time coach, Josh is committed to making sure BJJ and Connect Grappling is the choice for everyone.

Focusing on encouraging members to take their first steps into the sport, Josh takes exceptional pride in the number of members who have taken the time to learn from him personally and enjoys his well-established relationships with new and old members alike.
