Gavin is a certified edged weapons instructor and Instructor of Jeet Kune Do
Concepts and Filipino Martial Arts under the Legendary Sigung Paul Vunak, founder and President of Progressive Fighting Systems.

Gavin’s origins in the martial arts began when at the age of 8 he started taking traditional judo classes at his local Y.M.C.A.  After several years he had earned his blue belt and took a hiatus from traditional martial arts for a while playing many other sports including basketball, water polo, swimming, football and soccer. In junior high school Gavin competed in Greco roman wrestling for several years as well.
Martial Arts took a back seat to Football and Water Polo while in college at the University of Colorado at Boulder, until meeting Sigung Paul Vunak in 2007.  That’s when Gavin was introduced to Bruce Lee’s art of Jeet Kune Do, the way of the intercepting fist. Within two years of meeting Sigung Paul Vunak and Sifu Harinder Singh Sabharwal, Gavin had earned his blunt and edged weapons instructorship as well as his Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Martial Arts Instructorship.  While training with Sigung Paul Vunak and Sifu Harinder Singh, Gavin has trained members of government agencies like the armed forces and local law enforcement. Currently Gavin is training extensively in Jeet Kune Do, Boxing, Thai Boxing, Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu and Wing-Chun as well as the Filipino martial arts and Sigung Paul Vunak’s Filthy MMA.
In early 2009, Gavin was introduced to the Russian Kettlebell and Sifu Harinder Singh’s rigorous Action Strength martial arts physical fitness regiment.  In August 2009, Gavin received his RKC Certified Kettlebell instructorship from former soviet Special Forces instructor and worldwide kettlebell and fitness Guru Pavel Tsatsouline.
