Hi everyone, my name is Cody Freeland. I’ve been training in martial arts for 34 years and have spent the last 18 years coaching professionally. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching athletes at every level, from young beginners just starting their journey to professional fighters competing at the highest levels of the sport. One of my athletes even had the opportunity to compete for a UFC world title, which was an incredible milestone in my coaching career. My primary specialty as a coach is striking, but I have also been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 17 years and hold a black belt in grappling as well. I enjoy teaching all aspects of martial arts, but what I believe truly sets me apart as a coach is my attention to technical detail. I take pride in being able to quickly identify small flaws in movement or positioning and provide clear, concise feedback that helps athletes improve immediately. I currently run and coach out of X-Zen Sports in Greenville, South Carolina, where I work with athletes of all levels and help develop both competitors and everyday martial artists. Outside of the physical side of training, I’m also very interested in the mental and philosophical aspects of martial arts. I spend a lot of time studying the subconscious mind, personal development, and the deeper philosophy behind martial arts and performance. If anyone would like to connect, talk martial arts, exchange ideas, or even meet up and train sometime, I’d be happy to do so. Looking forward to being part of the community.
