Words With A MAD Coach

Interview with Nyzaiah King

Nyzaiah "Tha Sniper" King might be currently ranked 2-5-0 in amateur MMA, but his story is one of perseverance, growth, and untapped potential. At just 23 years old, King is still shaping his journey in the sport. His recent victory is a testament to his resilience and willingness to learn and evolve as a fighter. In a sport where every fight is a test of character as much as skill, "Tha Sniper" continues to hone his craft and sharpen his mental and physical tools. His nickname speaks to his precision and ability to capitalize on opportunities inside the cage—qualities that are just beginning to bloom. King’s ability to adjust, his heart in tough matchups, and his hunger for improvement set him up for a promising future. A fighter like King exemplifies that it’s not about where you start, but how you finish, and with each bout, he’s proving that his best days are still ahead.

How I use Curriculums

How do you integrate performance strategy and problem-solving within the curriculum to improve fight IQ in students?
Do you focus on a specific martial arts style in your curriculum, or do you incorporate multiple styles for a more comprehensive approach?
How do you track and measure student progress throughout the curriculum, and what benchmarks do you use to assess their development?
What role does sparring or live practice play in your curriculum, and how do you ensure it is used effectively for both skill improvement and safety?
How do you tailor your curriculum for different student goals, such as self-defense, competition, or general fitness?
