THE BFS STORY

Once upon a time...

A talented martial artist decided to share his knowledge with the world. An acclaimed fighter and renowned coach in Paris, France, he set his sight on the US to further his understanding of combat sports.

In 1998, he settled in Colorado Springs, where he opened BFS, teaching Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Savate – a legendary French martial art.

The journey...

Was enriching every step of the way. He worked with tons of students, teaching them about the physical and mental aspects of combat.

Silver gloves, golden gloves, national tournaments, ESPN-televised pro bouts, he did it all.

And so, his hard work paid off when he was inducted into the US Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2011.

Today...

He still teaches with the same passion and continues to inspire those who seek his wisdom.

If you ever visit BFS, he’ll make you feel at ease as soon as you step into his gym, welcoming you whether you want to watch or participate in a class.
