Mike Torres

Mike Torres is a StrongFirst Certified Team Leader & Elite Instructor (SFG II, SFL, SFB) and has been training in the StrongFirst system for over 10 years. Having studied martial arts since childhood, Mike also holds multiple black belts and instructorships in traditional and reality-based systems, and currently trains in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at Framework BJJ in Seattle.

Mike believes that physical, emotional, and mental strength are intertwined and natural precursors to one another. Generally someone who’s been able to overcome adversity with repeated success in the gym or on the mat will be ready to do so in an office, a relationship, or a classroom. That’s the kind of “real strength” that's developed through the continued search for mastery.

Mike spends his days as a Vice President at Amazon.
