Coach Bijan
Hey there! I'm Bijan, born and raised right here in sunny SoCal. Before my journey into martial arts, I spent my college days on the basketball court. But at 18, I discovered martial arts and never looked back.
I've competed in MMA, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu, and I've been sharing my knowledge for over a decade. With a NASM personal training certification and a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, I'm all about merging fitness and technique.
When I'm not teaching, you might catch me shredding the slopes on a snowboard or indulging in an entire pizza—I've got an appetite for both adventure and good eats!
Oh, and here's a little fun fact: I used to be a snowboard and ski instructor.
At Oceanside Athletic Club, my mission is clear: to empower everyone with self-defense skills and boost confidence through martial arts. Can't wait to train and learn together!
Coach Arianne
Hi! I’m Coach Arianne, but you can call me Coach Ari!
Originally from New Mexico, and relocated to Oceanside after my service in the Marine Corps. I signed up for the Marine Corps when I turned 19. I served from 2010 to 2014 and deployed to Afghanistan as a Wrecker Operator. Once out of the Marine Corps, I found a love for combat sports. I started with Judo, which led to Jiujitsu and finally found my way to boxing. I have now been boxing for six years, and my passion for it continues to grow.
I am a USA Boxing certified coach, with 3 years of boxing coach experience and I look forward to many more years to come! My boxing experience includes leading group classes, assisting training the amateur boxing team, and private training. When you train with me, you can expect a disciplined and fun environment where we will work on boxing technique, boxing conditioning, and fitness conditioning.
I recently graduated, receiving my Bachelor’s in Communications, and I now have my sights set on the master's program to become a Dietitian!
Fun fact: While living in Charlotte, NC I had the privilege of training with professional boxer Lavonte Earley (@Von_WCG) for three years. He is now one of my best friends and mentor!
My goal at Oceanside Athletic Club is to help people achieve their health and fitness goals and learn to have fun while doing so! Fitness should not seem like a chore. Let’s learn to take care of our bodies, so they take care of us!

Coach Marc
Knock Knock…. Marky Marc in the house!
I’ve been immersed in the sweet science since the age of 6, evolving my passion and expertise over the years. The ring, my sanctuary, sparked a passion that only intensified despite early adversities, including a hand injury that redirected my focus from competition to strategic coaching. Boxing, for me, transcended a sport—it became a tool for managing and improving my mental well-being.
When I’m not coaching you can still catch me in the gym working on my craft along side our students! Outside of the gym I like to enjoy the little things in life like the fresh air on the beach or clocking some miles in the city with my dog, Ace!
At OAC, I am dedicated to leveraging my ever-growing experience and insights in the sport to ignite passion, boost confidence, and elevate overall physical and mental well-being through the empowering knowledge and strength of self-defense.

Coach Mike
Hello, I'm Coach Mike!
Originally from Chicago, I moved to California 5 years ago with my two brothers after serving in the military. While I miss the Windy City, I definitely prefer the weather here!
Before joining Oceanside Athletic Club, I spent 5 years in the Air Force as a Security Forces member, which took me around the world—from Korea to Germany, and even to Qatar, Iraq, and Afghanistan. It was during my second deployment that I discovered my love for boxing, leading me to become an amateur boxer for 7 years before transitioning to coaching 3 years ago.
My passion lies in focusing on technique and helping others build confidence in their skills. Whether we’re perfecting your jab or pushing through a tough workout, my goal is to inspire and motivate you every step of the way.
When I’m not coaching, I’m the Assistant Director of Security at Omni La Costa. I also enjoy hiking, lifting, running, and fishing.
Catch me every Friday at 9am for an energizing boxing class, and if you’re looking for some one-on-one time, I’m available for private training after 5pm, Monday through Friday.
Let’s get to work and have some fun doing it!
Tabitha
Hi! 👋
I’m Coach Tabitha, Owner at OAC and coach for Rock Steady Boxing Oceanside!
I first began training in boxing in 2020 when my husband and I opened Oceanside Athletic Club. Chris and I have dreamt of building a club that would serve Oceanside through community, martial arts and fitness. It’s been amazing to see that dream come to life and I am excited to join the fight against Parkinson’s Disease!
I am passionate about helping men and women who would not normally walk into any gym – let alone a boxing gym – transform their bodies and their self-image. I will encourage people of all ages and abilities to feel confident, powerful and strong, no matter where they are at physically at this very moment. It doesn’t matter if you are not able to run, or even walk – boxing can empower you from a seated position to take back control of your health and your life.
A little about me… My life revolves around my family, our gym, and my own health journey. My daughter Amelia, now 5, keeps us on our toes with her boundless energy. I’m committed to my fitness goals through bodybuilding, nutrition, walks, with a little boxing mixed in. While free time is limited, I’d love to start traveling and camping more, and I’m working toward that elusive work-life balance. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me at the park with Amelia or relaxing at home. As I carve out more time for myself, I look forward to enjoying some of my favorite hobbies—surfing, painting, camping, reading, and just unwinding.
My goal with RSB is to help improve my fighter’s quality of life. I will plan challenging classes with a focus on boxing and functional movements. Don’t worry, I will meet you at your level with modifications to accommodate your individual needs while pushing you to your limit. I understand that some days will be harder than others, and on those days, I just ask that you show up and do the best you can.
Let’s get to work!🥊🙌
