Meet Coach Dave Grandy
Co-Owner & Head Youth Coach at Get Tuff Kickboxing
Coach Dave Grandy has lived and breathed martial arts since 1984. From child prodigy to respected instructor, Dave’s lifelong journey began at the age of 10, where his passion and dedication quickly set him apart. By 13, he’d earned his black belt. By 14, he was teaching alongside his instructor. By 21, he was running his own school in New York with over 300 students attending weekly classes.
Dave has trained in Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling — competing in hundreds of events and coaching athletes at all levels. But what truly sets him apart is his connection with kids. His high-energy teaching style blends discipline with encouragement, and his students thrive under his mentorship — on the mat and in life.
To Dave, teaching is more than a job — it’s his calling. His passion is felt in every class he leads. After decades of teaching and leading one of the largest MMA programs in the country, Dave relocated to Florida and teamed up with his childhood friend, Chris Esposito, to build something special in Coconut Creek.
Coach Dave’s mission? To help every child become more focused, confident, and unstoppable — and to make every class feel like the best hour of their week.
