Mike Torres

Mike Torres has been training in the StrongFirst system since January 2011 and is a StrongFirst Team Leader & Elite Instructor (SFG II, SFL, SFB). Having studied martial arts since childhood, Mike also holds multiple black belts and instructorships in traditional and reality-based arts, and currently trains in Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Framework BJJ in Seattle, WA.

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 of the human body.

Mike spends his days as Director and General Manager, Kindle at Amazon.
