Lesley Steiner embarked on her martial arts odyssey in 2012, initially drawn to boxing for fitness and weight loss. However, her journey took an unexpected turn as she fell head over heels for the sport. Embracing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu soon after, she found her true calling under the tutelage of mentor Jeffrey Carter, earning her coveted brown belt in 2022. Delving into Muay Thai under the late Ajarn Rick Davis, Lesley honed her craft further. A seasoned competitor in Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, and MMA, Lesley’s passion for coaching shines brightest, particularly in nurturing the budding talents of her beloved kids’ classes.

Coach Lesley is amazing. I can't say enough about her. From my son's very first class with her to his first tournament, all the way up to his last class she was wonderful. Coach Lesley is a really good teacher, she had patience and took her time to demonstrate the moves, and made sure the kids were able to do it correctly. My son always left her class excited to show his dad what he had learned that day when he got home. His very first tournament he was so nervous but the coach was there cheerin.
My kids and I loved training with Lesley in children’s and ladies Jiu jitsu classes! She has a special way of making training fun but also teaching discipline and technique! She is a five star coach in my book! 🙌.
