About David Avellan

David Avellan co-founded Freestyle Fighting Academy in Miami in 2001, at the age of 19 — it grew into one of the largest academies in South Florida. In his own words:

“I got into the business world through my hobby, Martial Arts. At the age of 19 I had opened my first Academy with my brother Marcos, and we have learned so much since then.”

On the mat, David is an ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship bronze medalist (2009) and a four-time ADCC competitor, with wins over world-class black belts including Rafael Lovato Jr., Xande Ribeiro, Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu, and Rener Gracie. In MMA he competed for the WEC and BodogFIGHT, where a TKO over Anthony Rea earned Fight of the Night.

He is best known for the Kimura Trap System, which he calls “by far my greatest contribution to the Martial Arts” — now used by competitors in the UFC and the world’s biggest grappling events. Today he teaches seminars worldwide and publishes daily instruction through DavidMMA.com.
