Izzy has been training in martial arts since she was 6 years old and currently helps teach our Youth Martial Arts Classes.
Izabella Tufte has been training in martial arts for over 12 years, beginning her journey at just 6 years old. She now serves as an assistant instructor in the Youth Martial Arts program at Edge Fitness LLC, where she brings a friendly and knowledgeable demeanor to every kids' class she helps lead. With a natural ability to connect with younger students, Izabella is passionate about helping children learn self-defense skills and develop mental discipline that goes beyond the mat.
Izabella holds a 2nd Degree Junior Black Belt in Edge Combat Arts and a Blue Belt in No-Gi Grappling. A gold medalist in grappling competition, she’s especially known for her technical skill and quiet confidence in grappling-based self-defense. She’s played a key role in shaping a safe, respectful, and empowering class environment for youth across our Kernersville and High Point, NC locations.
She’s not just teaching techniques—she’s helping young martial artists grow in focus, confidence, and self-control, all while having fun and feeling supported. Whether it’s showing a proper takedown or offering a kind word of encouragement, Izabella leads by example and embodies the spirit of Edge Combat Arts.
If your child is training at Edge Fitness LLC, chances are they’ve felt Izabella’s positive impact—and walked off the mat better for it.
