At the age of three he would mimic the adults at the gym as they warmed up for their kickboxing classes, by the age of six he was officially training on the mats. He would spend the next few years of his life training and competing as a submission grappler and high school wrestler, while also training under many experienced coaches to improve his boxing and kickboxing techniques. As a young coach and fighter, Zavier is focused on coaching fundamentals and competing, using his experiences and skill sets to enrich the lives of others. Coach Zavier is currently an active MMA fighter and USA Boxing certified instructor and available for personal training.
