More About Coach Thomas
I currently work with Professional MMA students training wrestling and control at Pitch Black MMA in Simpsonville SC. I have been here for 9 years coaching Stephen Thompson and other UFC and Bellator athletes.
I wrestled at NC State University from 1988-1993 and was team captain my senior year where we placed 8th in the NCAA's. I was a 2 time state Champion in Kentucky and Wrestler of the Year in 1988. I was only had 3 losses in my High School Career. I was injury pron in college, but was the starter every season at NC State.
Typical session would start with Stretching and warm-ups for 10 minutes. 5-10 minutes of technical Drilling - slow and accurate technique on the topic of choice. Once warmed up, we dive into a technique for the day. From shots, arm drags, throws, riding, legs, etc. We will work on series topic a session with 4-5 variations and set-ups to properly learn the technical aspect of each series. The series is worked for 30 minutes, then will work this into some live wrestling where we apply what we learned for the remainder of class.

Karen (CoachUp client)
He was excellent. We tremendously helpful. Very per and knowledgeable. . If he weren’t moving ww would make him a regular coach. Amazing.
Heather (CoachUp client)
Coach Thomas has really helped my son learn the fundamentals of wrestling. He does a great job explaining the moves and making sure my son learns the moves so that they are second nature to him.

Danielle (CoachUp client)
My son had his first session with Coach Thomas and instantly gained confidence in the idea that the fundamentals were a huge missing piece for him. This is my son's first year wrestling and with 36 kids on the team it is hard for them to learn really good basic skills and learn to apply it for their own body styles, strengths and weaknesses. Coach Thomas is friendly and personal with his coaching and we are looking forward to building a long relationship with him training my son.
