Jeff Martin

Jeff has been teaching Self Defense and Martial Arts since 1997, first at Cepeda Brothers Martial Arts, Arena Martial Arts and then Brand X,
which he opened with his wife Mikki in April of 1999. Jeff began his Martial Arts training in 1978, in Redlands Ca. with Tim Tackett. He later trained with Tracy's Kenpo Karate
in El Cajon, Ca. and in the summer of 1991, Jeff found Cepeda Brothers Martial Arts. Training directly under Sifu Dan Cepeda, Jeff was awarded his black belt in the summer of 1997.
He was awarded a fifth degree Black Belt and the title of Sifu in 2000. He has also trained extensively in Boxing, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, and Arnis De Mano.

The Jeet Kune Do principle of taking what is useful and discarding what isn't has always heavily influenced his Martial Arts training and philosophy.
With this attitude of efficiency in mind, Jeff chose to bring Krav Maga to Brand X, with a firm belief that it is the best Reality Based system out there.
In 2003 he became a licensed Krav Maga Instructor through the Krav Maga National Training Center (KMNTC). Later that year he attended two
Complete Combat Seminars given by Bas Ruten (K1), Amir Perets (Israeli Sea Commandos), and Darren Levine (Chief Instr. KMNTC), focusing on Submissions, Weapons, and Third Party defense.

In 2005 he was certified at John Hackleman's MMA CrossPIT Certification in Santa Cruz, CA. In 2007 he returned to The PIT and John Hackleman's Kahala Certification in San Luis Obispo, Ca.

Having played at the College Level ( Water Polo at Redlands University) and Coached high school swimming and water polo, Jeff is well aware of how quality Strength and Conditioning can affect an athletes performance.
In the fall of 2003, he found CrossFit. By the spring of 2004 Jeff was traveling to Santa Cruz to become a certified CrossFit Trainer and originally added CrossFit to the Brand X line up to improve combat athletes performance.
The incredible results, community and philosophy motivated him to attend as many Certifications as possible in the following years. He was awarded the honor of CrossFit Coach in 2006.
Later that year he traveled to the UK to give a half day CrossFit Seminar at CrossFit London.

He is CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Certified, Basic Barbell Certified, is a USAW Club Coach and USAW Sports and Conditioning Coach. Along with his wife Mikki he runs CrossFit Kids HQ,
publishes the CrossFit Kids Magazine, developed and maintains the CrossFit Kids.com website and in 2008 began CrossFit Kids Certifications for CrossFit Affiliates, teachers and coaches
continuing the expansion of this growing International program.
