We Don't Just
Teach Fighting.
Every coach at BADACE is here because they genuinely care — about your progress, your confidence, and your character. We hold our students to a high standard because we believe in what they're capable of. You'll feel that from the first class.
Rodger
Martin.
Lifelong martial artist with a passion for raising the next generation of disciplined, confident humans. Rodger founded BADACE with a simple mission: give people of all ages the tools to succeed — on the mat and in life.
With over 20 years on the mat, Rodger specializes in Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals and practical self-defense for all ages. His teaching style is demanding, direct, and deeply encouraging. Students don’t just learn technique — they learn how to show up.
Makinly.
Makinly builds the program around heart, grit, and growth. As the lead instructor for the kids’ curriculum and cardio kickboxing classes, she brings an energy to the mat that keeps students coming back week after week.
Her approach is encouraging but firm — she meets every student where they are and pushes them further than they thought possible. Whether it’s a 5-year-old learning their first stance or an adult finishing their first kickboxing class, Makinly makes sure they leave better than they arrived.
Hayes
My Martial Arts journey has been amazing. I started training when I was young, but I really doubled down during my teenage years. I was active in the tournament circuit and loved competing. Over the years, I gained my 4th Dan in Taekwondo, 2nd Degree in Shou Shu, and my Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My teaching philosophy is to work hard, have fun, and pass your limitations. Your only competition in life is the limits that you set on yourself.
