COACH SPOTLIGHT: MICHAEL TIEMANN 🥋
Meet Coach Michael, Assistant Jiu Jitsu Coach for the TenBears Kids Program!
Michael has been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a year and coaching for 6 months. What started as a journey to build discipline, confidence, strength, and self-defense skills has turned into a passion for helping others grow.
🔥 What he loves most about coaching:
Watching students gain confidence, solve problems, and experience that “YES!” moment when they finally nail a technique.
💪 Michael’s biggest message:
“Just take that leap of faith. I did, and it changed my life.”
And a fun fact? Before TenBears, Michael was actually afraid of confrontation and fighting!
That’s the power of martial arts — building confidence both on and off the mat.
We’re proud to have Coach Michael on the TenBears team! 🐻🥋
