Fight History:
Omar Sutton
achieved his 1st Deg Black Belt in ATA at the age of 10 years old.
He continued his training in the martial art of Mauy Thai during his in
teenage years. As an adult, Omar served eight years as a member of the
illustrious United States Marine Corps. In late 2005 he competed in his first
Mixed Martial Arts bout at the New Daisy Theater in Memphis, Tennessee.
Suffering a disappointing lose he decided to look into getting some
professional training to better master his chosen craft.
After a few
months of rigorous and intense training he began to compete in the Tri State
Area. He has completed his amateur career with a record of 9 wins and 4
losses. In Omar's last five bouts he has destroyed his competition. After
evaluating his options Omar made the choice that it was time to take his Mixed
Martial Arts career to the next level. On April 24, 2009 Omar "The
Devil Dog" Sutton embarked on his journey as a Professional Mixed Martial
Arts Fighter in Cage Assault: Bragging Rights against Zack Underwood. This
bout went the full three rounds. There were some great highlights to his pro
debut and he showed great skill and innate ability. Although
he executed well, unfortunately he lost this bout by the judges’
decision. Omar plans to continue his Professional Mixed Martial Arts
career so stay tuned because the best is yet to come...
Also in 2009, Omar began to pursue a passion for personal training. Omar begins with his clients by first by listening closely to their goals and comfort level. He is aware that many of his clients have had negative experiences in the past with health trainers, sometimes being pushed past the point of their comfort, which is precisely why he is focused more on the safety and comfort of his clients. Perhaps his simple definition of success can be described as progress in a progressive direction.
His philosophy in fitness programming is cemented by the idea that no step taken with him is "unintentional."
Often folks approach fitness exercise in a peculiarly unspecific, impersonated manor.
Think about the last time you viewed exercise (fitness program on TV, a glimpse of "personal training" at the local health club, exercising with your friends at the YMCA, etc.). Do you have a picture in your mind of the precise exercise that person was "doing?" Let me guess, it was a biceps curl or a bench press, perhaps images of a bulky machine comes into your mind.
Omar’s approach is to use your natural body weight to stimulate the most effective results possible?
In addition to your in-house training you will also have the option to have your workouts loaded on the web so that you can stay committed to your workout goals when you are unable to make you scheduled appointment in-house.

After having great success with both teens and adults personal training he has since decided to begin a system specifically designed for our youth in 2010.
Agoge Wrestling Team was established to afford community youth opportunities to learn the fundamentals of Collegiate wrestling including discipline, team unity, respect, and sportsmanship.
In 2011, the first fully registered
team will compete. Most of these kids are new to the sport, some coming from
football backgrounds others just wanting something productive to do. Several
wrestlers on the team placed in the city tournament after their first wrestling
season and look forward to doing the same again this year.
In the Agoge Wrestling Team room we encourage participation from wrestlers as
well as parents. We have two degrees of wrestlers in the club: Beginner and
Advanced. To go from beginner to advanced team you must demonstrate and master
all beginner moves and techniques. This is to assure that all wrestlers are
learning the basics of wrestling before they can move to the next level. Too
many times we push kids through the sport without giving each competitor a good
base of techniques. Wrestling is a sport that requires a tremendous amount of
work and dedication to be successful. Countless hours must be spent practicing
and competing. The more a kid wrestles and drills techniques, the better he
will be and the more fun he will have in the sport of wrestling. The primary
emphasis is not to win every match, but to develop skills that lead to
increased performance at all levels of competition.
