About Me

Hey! My name is David Figueroa-Martinez.I’ve been training Jiu-Jitsu since 2011 and earned my black belt in 2021, but my role as a coach has become just as important to me.I started DFM Coaching to create something more intentional, a place where grapplers can get the kind of focused, thoughtful guidance that actually helps them grow.Outside of training, I'm big on writing, video games, and getting lost in a good book.Some of my favorite authors are Vince Flynn, Mitch Albom, and Lee Child.
