Lisa Bailey-Loki
Lisa had her first boxing match when she was 14 and hasn't stopped since! She used to have organized boxing matches in her friends barn every weekend and has been taking lessons since she was 18.
She started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Submission Grappling in 2006 in Portland at Straight-Blast Gym International under Matt Thornton who trained under Reagan Machado. In 2008, she switched to Marcelo Aloso in Seattle - much closer commute which means more training time!
Lisa co-opened a gym in 2007. The gym was a full contact MMA gym and she did everything there from construction to bookkeeping to coaching. She has 2 stripes on her blue belt and is close to a purple belt. She has competed in many submission grappling tournaments and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions all over WA and the West Coast - she never received less than a silver medal!
Lisa has been practicing and teaching yoga for 3 years and trained under a graduate of Bikram Yoga in LA. She has her NSCA certification for personal training and has been doing this for the last 3 years. She has also been doing Muay Thai for the last four years.
