Bio
Ben Kaplan brings six years of dedicated martial arts experience to his kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA classes, backed by an impressive competitive résumé including a 7-1-1 amateur Muay Thai record, NFC Title Contender status, Elev8 Fight League #1 Contender, IKF East Coast Champion, ISKA GA Finalist, and a 1-1 amateur MMA record. A BJJ Blue Belt and specialist in Muay Thai, MMA, and martial arts conditioning, Ben loves the all-encompassing challenge of using mind, body, and spirit to push through obstacles in and out of the ring. He feels most like a warrior when he trains every day, especially on the days he doesn’t feel like it, and he helps clients build the skills and conditioning they need to perform at their best, whether they’re stepping into competition or just battling for the TV remote at home. Motivated by the belief that simply showing up is winning the mental fight, Ben guides students with his favorite motto: 1% better every day.
