Leo de la Garza
Striking, Fitness Coach
Leo is an immigration attorney and combat sports instructor, bringing his legal precision and fighting passion to ATXTactics. Leo's journey began with boxing in high school and expanded into MMA, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and constitutional self-defense. For Leo, martial arts is both essential play and a practical skill.
With years of teaching experience, Leo's passion for instruction has deep roots. At 14, he discovered his love for teaching while helping Spanish-speaking newcomers at his boxing gym. Being bilingual opened doors to connect and share knowledge—something he still thrives on today.
Leo loves creating training environments that balance serious physical development with the playful energy adults desperately need. His classes feel like fitness science and recess rolled into one.
You'll feel Leo's vibrant energy from the moment class begins. He brings his natural "hype man" persona to every session, connecting with students of all backgrounds and skill levels. Leo's teaching approach is simple: build technical skills that last a lifetime, protect your body for the long haul, and develop the mental flexibility to adapt to any situation.
