“Krazy” Kyle Lee

Coach Kyle Lee is a Nashville native who has been immersed in martial arts from a young age. He began training Tae Kwon Do at age 6, earned his black belt, and went on to compete in Kickboxing, Boxing, and MMA before finding his jiu-jitsu home at Legion.

Kyle started dedicated Jiu Jitsu training at Legion in 2018, taking a white belt and starting from scratch alongside every other new student. He earned his blue belt in under a year and competes regularly. The bond he shares with his coaches is central to what draws him to teaching.

As an instructor, Kyle focuses on the same care his coaches showed him: passing on the knowledge he's earned on the mat and building real relationships with the fighters he trains.

Accomplishments: Three-time defending amateur 185lbs champion and 205lbs champion at Jonathan Ivey Fighting Champions, 7-0 Amateur MMA Record, Multiple IBJJF and Jiu Jitsu tournament placements.
