Welcome to Grizzly MMA

Robert Gallegos was more than a coach—he was the heart and soul of Grizzly MMA. A passionate martial artist and teacher, Robert dedicated his life to helping others grow stronger in both body and mind.

A jiu jitsu brown belt under Ernie Medina and Dave Heredia, Robert was a gold medal winner at the National Jiu Jitsu Competition and a Certified MMA Conditioning Coach. Beyond the mats, he was a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist with an Associate's Degree in Holistic Health, reflecting his profound belief that true strength comes from balance—between discipline and compassion, training and recovery, body and spirit.

Robert founded Grizzly MMA with the vision of creating a place where anyone—regardless of experience or background—could learn, grow, and find confidence through martial arts. His dedication, kindness, and leadership continue to inspire everyone who walks through our doors.

Though he may be gone, his spirit lives on in every student he taught, every lesson he shared, and every round fought with heart.

Thank you, Robert, for building the foundation we proudly stand on today.

Your legacy will always be part of Grizzly MMA.
