The Team Behind Training Day
Rick & Tracy Koenig
2nd Degree Black Belt · Carlson Gracie Lineage
Featured on HBO · 20+ Years Teaching
Rick has lived every martial art he teaches. A 2nd Degree Black Belt under TJ Tomlin and Renato Tavares of the legendary Carlson Gracie lineage, Rick has spent over 20 years on the mat teaching BJJ, MMA, boxing, and judo. He’s fought professionally, protected high-profile clients, trained law enforcement, and had his story told on HBO. Everything in Training Day is forged from what he’s lived and learned on the mat and in his faith. Now his mission is clear: growing warriors for God.
Behind every warrior is someone who believed first. Tracy has been Rick’s greatest supporter for 31 years, his partner in life, in faith, and in mission. Fitness is something she’s carried her whole life. A passionate personal trainer and mentor, she leads women’s fitness. Meeting women where they are and pushing them toward what they’re capable of. Together, Rick and Tracy grow Training Day and all the programs behind it.
