MEETAndreus Bond
Head Instructor at Champions MMA Bartow
Andreus Bond is a lifelong martial artist, decorated competitor, and passionate coach dedicated to helping students unlock their true potential on and off the mats. His journey began in the world of wrestling, where he quickly rose through the ranks to become a 2x Florida State Finalist, showcasing not only his skill but his relentless work ethic and determination. That drive carried him into college, where he became an NAIA National Champion, solidifying his reputation as a disciplined athlete with a powerful understanding of grappling fundamentals.
Pursuing mastery beyond competition, Andreus expanded into the world of Catch Wrestling, ultimately earning the title of Catch Wrestling World Champion—a testament to his adaptability, technical depth, and ability to excel across multiple grappling arts. Today, he brings that same championship mindset into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where he holds a Brown Belt and continues to refine his craft under the guidance of respected coaches. His coaching style blends his wrestling foundation, BJJ knowledge, and real-world experience to create a unique teaching approach that is technical, efficient, and highly effective for students at every level.
What sets Andreus apart is not just his résumé, but the way he teaches. He has an exceptional ability to break down complex movements into simple, digestible steps that help beginners feel confident and advanced students sharpen their edge. His classes emphasize discipline, focus, and consistent improvement—qualities he believes are essential both in martial arts and in everyday life. Students know him for his calm leadership, high standards, and genuine commitment to seeing every individual grow at their own pace.
At Champions MMA Bartow, Andreus is more than an instructor—he is a mentor, motivator, and example of what it means to pursue excellence. Whether he’s training kids to build confidence, guiding adults through technique, or preparing competitors for success, his mission remains the same: help people become the strongest, most capable version of themselves through the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
