Chris Bright

Chris’ journey into martial arts began after an impressive start in powerlifting, where he won multiple State powerlifting championships during high school.  While pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice in college, Chris discovered his passion for martial arts and has since trained and competed in various disciplines, including Judo, Grappling, Knockdown Karate, and Grapple Strike.

Chris holds a 2nd-degree black belt in American Karate under Leon Nelson and Robbie Adams, and a black belt in Kickboxing under Robbie Adams and Scott Francis.  In January 2021, he earned his black belt in Shidokan Karate under Sensei Richard Trammell, further deepening his expertise.

With extensive experience in martial arts, powerlifting, and strength and conditioning, Chris brings a wealth of knowledge to the Apex Kickboxing Team, where he helps students prepare for competition and improve their overall strength and technique.  His background in multiple combat sports, combined with his passion for fitness, makes Chris an invaluable asset to the team.
