Douglas Martial Arts Center was originally founded by Kamrin Naville and Scott Harper. Kamrin is a former professional fighter and a Carlson Gracie black belt under the legendary Rinaldo dos Santos. Scott is also a former professional fighter that made MMA known in douglas during the earlier days of the sport. Kamrin and Scott built the gym on the values of discipline, toughness, and high-level technical training that reflects his decades of experience on the mats and in competition.

​

Today, the gym is owned and led by Seth Bounds, a brown belt under Kamrin Naville and an active competitor. As the head coach, Seth continues the legacy of elite instruction while bringing an energetic, modern approach to training for students of all levels - from beginners to aspiring fighters.

​

At Douglas Martial Arts Center, our values guide everything we do. We believe in accountability, hard work, and discipline - showing up, putting in the effort, and pushing past limitations. We uphold respect and integrity, treating teammates like family and honoring the martial arts traditions we were raised in. And above all, we promote courage - the willingness to step into challenges, test yourself, and grow through adversity.

​

Our mission is simple: provide world-class martial arts training in a supportive, tough, and inspiring environment where every student has the opportunity to reach their highest potential.
