You already perform at a high level. I help identify and strengthen what’s missing, then refine that blueprint as you implement it into your daily lifestyle — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. My Neurofitness approach is personalized to where you are and what you need. My work includes: - Traditional fitness & training - Nutrition - Breaking stress, anxiety, and negative thought/behavioral patterns - Mindset & mental clarity - Emotional resilience - Lifestyle implementation & sustainable habits - Spiritual concepts, purpose & meaning — drawing from principles shared across many faiths and traditions - Personalized support based on your individual goals I’m a former college football player who transitioned into MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, continuing to train and compete. From averaging 18 yards per catch in college while starting a business, to placing 3rd in my first Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament, I understand what it takes to continually push yourself and perform at a high level. I’ve also experienced my own struggles — battling anxiety throughout high school and my football career and facing suicidal thoughts at age 13. Those experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, personal growth, and the importance of developing the person behind the performance. You don’t have to be struggling to benefit from this work. You may already be successful, fit, disciplined, or accomplished and simply recognize that something is missing. My goal is simple: identify the gaps, strengthen what’s missing, and help you implement it into your everyday life. NASM & DotFIT Certified NutritionistSee more

Reviews for Arlington self defense instructors on Thumbtack

This was my first Thumbtack experience so I did not know what to expect. I called Alex and booked an initial meeting for a self defense class. I was so impressed with his knowledge and ability to teach to me (someone with absolutely no experience in self defense) that I hired him immediately. I would recommend him in a minute, I can't explain how much fun each training is while at the same time also getting a tailored workout as well as learning useful and practical skills!!

Zurianne gave me a personal training session and was able to tailor it to key self defense techniques I wished to learn. He was patient, had a positive attitude throughout, and was clearly very skilled in multiple martial arts. His knowledge in these various disciplines allowed him to give me the technique he thought would be best suited for me. It is clear that practice is required to use these skills effectively, but he gave me a good foundation. Thank you Zurianne!
