Orion SportsMMA Venue in Kirkland, WA

I’m a passionate martial arts coach and active competitor in Seattle with over 15 years of training. I help students of all levels reach their full potential in a fun, supportive, and challenging environment. I’ve trained with some incredible names: • Aaron Fields (Seattle sambo/grappling coach, founder of SeaTown Grappling) • Byamba (4× World Sumo Champion, former pro sumo wrestler in Japan, dominant US Sumo Open competitor) • Demetrious Johnson (former UFC Flyweight Champion with a record 11 straight title defenses) • Frank Shamrock (former UFC Middleweight Champion and MMA pioneer) • Igor Kurinnoy (3× World Sambo Champion) • Matt Hume (legendary MMA coach, founder/head trainer of AMC Pankration, former fighter, and Sr. VP at ONE Championship) • Sifu Christopher Clarke (Northwest Kali/JKD founder, full instructor under Dan Inosanto) My disciplines include Boxing, Wrestling, Sambo, Judo, Jujutsu, Catch Wrestling, and Kali. I’ve competed nationally in Sambo and keep sharpening my skills while guiding others to hit their goals.

"I loved training with Gabriel because he is a great teacher who makes lessons enjoyable and easy to follow. The class was well-paced and engaging, which kept me motivated throughout. If you’re thinking about trying MMA, I definitely recommend taking a lesson with Gabriel to experience his teaching style firsthand. You won’t be disappointed! 🥋
