Instructors
Raquel Canuto
Professor Raquel is a second generation fighter. Her father is known as the pioneer of Hawaiian MMA, having won the first ever MMA event ever held on the islands. She grew up dabbling in Karate, basic grappling and wrestling under her father’s instruction. It wasn’t until she was a sophomore in high school that she began wrestling and taking martial arts seriously. She spent a year wrestling in college where she was a College All-American. She returned home the following year and started training to fight MMA. She had 3 amateur fights over 4 months then turned pro. After a string of submission losses, her coach at the time had her take a year off to strictly train jiu jitsu. It was then that she fell in love with the art. In 2014 she made the move to Las Vegas to further both her MMA and jiujitsu career. In 2017 she was promoted to black belt, just shy of her 5th year anniversary. Since then, she’s medaled at the major tournaments here in the US and captured 3 black belt World Championships in No Gi. Raquel is the fundamentals coach for both kids and adults and also teaches the fitness program.
