Meet The Head Coach
Joe Garcia
Professional fighter. BRASA brown belt. Toledo native.
Joe Garcia is a professional mixed martial artist and the head coach of Garcia MMA Fight Team. A decorated cage veteran with championship hardware to his name, Joe has spent his entire adult life in combat sports — training, competing, and coaching at every level.
On the mats, Joe holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Deion Thompson in the BRASA Jiu-Jitsu Association — bringing real lineage and technical depth to every BJJ class he teaches.
He brings the same discipline, intensity, and mental toughness from the cage into every class. His students train alongside someone who's actually been there — past the lights, past the pressure, past the moment when most people quit.
When he's not in the gym or in the cage, Joe runs two of Toledo's most respected businesses — Glass City Security and Garcia Bail Bonds. But the mats are where he started, and the mats are still where he's most at home.
