Brian has several years in Muay Thai boxing under Krudar, and it shows.  He was awarded his Poo Choi Kru by Ajahn Suchart from Thailand in less than 3 years which is a stunning achievement.  He’s got conditioning to burn and has built an impressive list of casualties in his amateur career sporting a record of 4 wins & 2 losses with 3 finishes by KO.  He’s has got high quality technique and unbelievable power behind his strikes, plus a teaching style that focuses on developing your fundamentals. Brian's classes begin with some nasty conditioning and then move to Thai pad workouts and drills that will hone your skills and keep you sweating.  Sparring?  Hell, yeah.  Heavy bags don't hit back, so if you want fantastic striking experience, you have to go rounds with Brian.  Brian will give you the power, confidence and experience you’ll need to fully  develop your fighting technique, in a class that will keep you coming back.  Be aware - this isn't boxercise - it's the real deal.

Since 2004, Brian has been training privately with Kru Joey de Los Reyes and Kru DJ Dallaire in the art of Muay Thai kickboxing. He has worked closely with Kru Jenypher in adding the culture of the Thai people into his Muay Thai boxing and therefore heads the Muay Thai classes at Buckley Jiu-Jitsu in her absence.  His certifications include: Kung Fu instructor (Sifu), 5 Animal System, CASK Level 1 Coach, NCCP Level 2 Coach, American Council of Martial Arts Instructor, Kung Fu / Kickboxing instructor at Beyond Kung Fu Studios for 5 years under Sifu Paul Condhino.  He took 1st place in Weapon forms at the Quebec Open in 2006, was the division winner in all three categories  (forms, weapons, continuous fighting) at the 2005 North American Sport Karate Association Champion (NASKA) and was the 2004 and 2005 Crispin Karate Champion.

A grinning Irishman armed with a humourous disposition, a horror inspiring left hook and a head of cement, Dave "The Cannon" Kilgannon single handedly inspired and built the boxing program at Buckley MMA.  With nearly 12 years of experience in competition Dave has spent countless hours honing his technique and humiliating would-be tough guys in the ring.  However, despite Dave's pedigree in smashing gorillas, he has an inate ability to spar at the level of whoever is in front of him.  This has made him a crowd favourite at Buckley MMA as he is very approachable and runs a safe environment that encourages people to let their hands fly but keeps people out of the emergency room.

Geoff Sharman began his martial arts career as a kid studying Tae Kwon Do.  He stuck with it for many years achieving the rank of black belt.  However, his interest in the striking arts led him to the study of Muay Thai.  During his studies, he found a new love of the ground game and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when he hooked up with Esfiha in London Ontario.  He trained for years under Esfiha until he (Esfiha) left to train military personnel in the United States.  Join Geoff on the mats and improve your own ground game with the grappling skills of BJJ.  Gi techniques are done on Monday nights while no gi is covered on Wednesdays.

After an exhaustive search for talented BJJ black belt instructors to help us move our BJJ program to the next level, we have obtained the assistance of Scott Lewis.  We welcomed Scott into his new roll as technical director of BJJ at Buckley Jiu-jitsu on March 30 with a gym packed to the rafters with people interested in moving forward on their road toward their grading in BJJ.  Scott is a black belt under Wagnney Fabiano of the Nova Uniao BJJ team.  With his assistance we will now be able to compete in all tournaments, have legitimate gradings in BJJ and access to some of the world’s finest BJJ instructors.

Scott's accomplishments include:

• Nova Uniao Black Belt under Waggney Fabiano
• OSWI1 Heavy Weight Super Fight Champion

Andre started Martial Arts in 1994, under Sensei Nick Petroff and attained a black belt on Nov 28th, 2004. He completed as a Junior Black Belt in 2004 at the World Jiu Jitsu Championships and came in 3rd in the individuals. At the same time, Andre trained in Judo under Sensei Albert Philippe and attained the rank of Blue Belt. He has completed in Continous Kick Boxing with CASK and WPKA Canada from 2002 - 2007, and eventually fought as a full contact fighter.

Patricia has practiced Judo since 1996 and began teaching in 2002.  Her most recent personal achievements include 5 first place finishes in the 2008 season and is ranked first place in Ontario for senior at 78 kg.  This of course follows her first place finishes in Ontario from 2004 and 2003, 3rd in the AmCan Internationals in 2004 and her Junior National Champion title from 2003.  She currently has her NCCP Level 3 designation.  Come join our newest instructor on the mats on Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Don't let his pretty face fool you - Sensei Patrick is a seasoned fighter with 20 years in combat arts, and formed the original Buckley Jiu-Jitsu school in Toronto in 1999.  The system of Jiu-Jitsu taught by Sensei Patrick comprises a set of stand-up tactics, take-downs and ground fighting - all the skills you need no matter where the fight takes you.  Sensei Patrick has spent nearly 20 years training under Sensei Tom Sharkey: a former ETF police officer, Airborne Ranger and all around dangerous guy.  These techniques have been tested in real life situations you hope will never come your way - you can't get more legit that that.  But what good is a great fighter if he can't teach you what he knows?  That is why Sensei Patrick has focused on developing a fun, fast-paced and comprehensive training style that will ensure that you get the most out of the class and have a great time too.   Join Sensei Patrick for the syllabus training and grappling of Canadian Jiu-Jitsu, and the non-stop action of MMA.

Sensei Patrick also teaches the Kid’s Class exclusively – your child won’t be taught by some 12 year old junior black belt here!  Buckley kids get the advantage of training with a 4th Degree Black Belt with 20 years of experience and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology (not to mention being a dad himself).
