Reality-Based Combat Training
Western Boxing

Omar Macias, our Western Boxing Coach is a hard hitting, hardcore Mexican Boxer from the heart of Santa Ana with a big smile and a bigger heart. Omar began boxing when he was 9 and began to train seriously at the age of 12. In his 19 years of boxing experience Omar has weathered and won 53 of his 58 fights in competitions all over California, Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Nevada. Besides his electric energy and tongue dropping classes Omar also brings additional technical style and knowledge to BEC. Omar teaches several classical and unorthodox boxing styles and understands that each person will need a slightly different and blended style of boxing that is unique to them.
Although Omar is a Western Boxer he is no stranger to MMA. He has coached and sparred with pro cage fighters such as Tito Ortiz and John Lober the Machine to prepare them for some of their toughest MMA matches. Omar understands the game of MMA and is able to adjust and adapt his striking skills to MMA, which is very difficult for most pure western boxing coaches to do. Omar is a life long martial artist and coach dedicated full time to the “sweet science” that is boxing. He can be found at Bear Essential Combat teaching classes and private lessons 5 days a week.
