OATH

"After 21 years of training and 6 years as a professional fighter, I was surprised by how much Zach showed me that I hadn't learned from other coaches—I've gained a lot in a short time."

— Cody Haddon, UFC Bantamweight

"Zach stands out as a coach because he doesn't try to force a standard method on everyone… he'll identify what works for you and build on it. I've found that the best coaches are those who are clear on the goal, yet flexible on how we get there. That balance is rare, and it requires a lot of work to get it right. This is a big part of why I'd trust him to be in my corner when the pressures on."

— Josh Iszatt, Head coach at Hurt Locker

"Balance and weight placement were non-existent before I started training at Oath Striking. Not just a gym that only focuses on the basics of combat, I've learned so much—fundamentals, techniques, staying mentally locked in. And you also build a long-lasting relationship with coach Zach. Definitely the best move I've ever made in my 8 years of training."

— Abdalla Biyada, MMA Pro

"I've trained with Zach Welch for years. And now at Oath Striking Club. He's always my go-to when I want to sharpen my boxing. Zach's got a high level of ring IQ, he doesn't just run you through drills, he actually teaches you how to think in the ring. His pad holding is sharp, purposeful, and tailored to bring out the best in you, not just gas you out for the sake of it. What really separates him though is how he builds you up. Every session, you leave feeling sharper, more confident, and like a million bucks. If you're serious about improving your boxing, I couldn't recommend Zach and Oath Striking Club enough."

— Bon Tighe, Bonnie's Boxing Club Owner

"I've been training with Zach for just over two years, and I can honestly say his coaching is second to none. His knowledge of the sport, combined with his patience and structured approach, makes a huge difference—whether you're just starting out or preparing for your first amateur or professional fight. Zach tailors his coaching to each individual, scaling training based on your skill level and personal goals. His methodical style builds real confidence and capability over time, not just quick wins. If you're looking for high-level, professional training with a coach who genuinely cares and brings a wealth of experience, I couldn't recommend Zach highly enough. He's played a massive role in helping me progress to my first pro fight and continue developing through the amateur ranks."

— Pas Stellitano, boxer

"I've been training in martial arts for over 20 years, and while I only started working with Zac about a year ago, the impact has been immediate. Every session, I walk away with something new—whether it's a refined technique or a specific area to focus on and improve. Zac has an exceptional depth of knowledge across techniques and their real-world applications, and what really sets him apart is his ability to tailor that knowledge to suit your individual style and goals. I highly recommend training with him, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner."

— Hylton Silver, Past MMA Fighter, BJJ Brown Belt, 3rd Dan Krav Maga

"Training at Oath Striking has been a game changer for me. Zach's level of technical knowledge is elite. Zach breakdowns movements or patterns into simple, clear and effective cues to help fighters or hobbyists of any level. Every session connects and serves a purpose specific to your own style, strengths or weaknesses. From the first drill to the last, every piece of the session links. I've been able to return to boxing progressively in my return from injury, with Zach's experience, he was able to scale the sessions accordingly to get me back training freely."

— Saia, Part Owner of Jump Lift Run

"I've known Zach Welch for many years—both as a fighter he's helped train and prepare, and through employing him as a coach at Kickass MMA. He's not only a great guy and one of the boys, but someone who genuinely cares about the people he works with and builds real, personal connections with every athlete he trains. Zach also has one of the sharpest eyes in the game. We've had countless in-depth conversations about the smallest technical details—things most people wouldn't even notice exist. That level of understanding and passion really sets him apart. It's always a pleasure being around Zach, whether that's in the gym environment or outside of it."

— Steven Kennedy, Owner of Kickass MMA
