Wave Combat Sports in Tacoma is shaped by the experience and vision of its two lead coaches, Micah Brown and Bobby McIntyre. Coach Micah B is recognized as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most creative striking instructors, having refined his Muay Thai and movement-based teaching style alongside world-class fighters such as Anderson Silva and Superlek. Rather than chasing a professional fighting career, Micah has dedicated himself fully to coaching, developing a reputation for making striking accessible and engaging for students of all backgrounds. His influence extends far beyond Tacoma, with a substantial online following and educational content used by both hobbyists and professional fighters. Coach Bobby McIntyre brings a decade of professional MMA experience to the mats, including nine pro wins and a finish rate that speaks to his balanced approach in both striking and grappling. Born and raised in the region, McIntyre is known for decisive victories—most notably a first-round TKO over UFC fighter Julian Erosa—and for his ability to blend kickboxing with high-level submissions. After a successful fighting career, he shifted his focus to coaching, emphasizing fundamentals, safety, and personal growth for students interested in fitness, self-defense, or the competitive side of martial arts. Wave Combat Sports offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu open mat sessions for adults, welcoming drop-ins and providing a space for practitioners to develop their skills in a relaxed, collaborative format. The academy’s programs are designed to let students explore the full spectrum of combat sports, drawing from the expertise of coaches who have tested their techniques at the highest levels while remaining dedicated teachers on the local scene.
