Born and raised in Keaukaha, Hawaii, I Kekoaikaika “ Koa “ Fonseca started training in 2000 with two time UFC champion BJ Penn. I was very fortunate to live with BJ through High School, all while being blessed to train with some of the best Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Boxing and Thai boxing/Kickboxing trainers in the world.
After moving to Merritt island Florida in 2007, I soon met my kickboxing coach whose tutelage and guidance led to:
Membership of The WAKO USA KICKBOXING TEAM in 2012.
Gold medal winner in March, 2012 at The Irish Open in Dublin, Ireland.
Silver medal winner in Iguazu, Brazil, at the WAKO Pan-American Championships.
I’m now a black belt in Jiu Jitsu under BJ Penn/Charuto Verissimo. I do my best to train local professional MMA fighters, raising my son as a single father parent and giving all the glory to God. Fighting is in my blood. The love for coaching is who I am. And giving back to the community is my goal.
