A life time of training in combat sports has helped me more than I can express. It literally saved my life. It took me off a path that was leading me into the ground, and has given me a life and experiences that I’m proud to have had.

I’m Coach Croom. I started wrestling in 2001, began MMA in 2007, and had my first professional fight in 2009. I’ve competed in boxing, kickboxing, MMA, bare knuckle boxing, and combat jiu jitsu. I earned my Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt in 2022 and completed my 200-hour Ashtanga yoga instructor certification in 2024. At Cass County MMA & Jiu Jitsu in Belton, I’m happy to share what training has given me with our students.
