Sensei Lester Martell
Kickboxing, Judo, MMA & BJJ Instructor
Sensei Lester Martell, born 1979 in Cuba, began his Martial Arts/combat sports training at the age of four years old. His father, Jose Luis “El Suave” Martell, a very notable wrestling instructor in his province of Cuba, began to teach him the art of wrestling. At the age of eleven, his father, who greatly respected the martial art and combat sport of Judo, took him to his first Judo School. Lester quickly fell in love with Judo and decided to make it part of his life. Two years later, Lester and his father went to visit the Kobukan Judo Club of Julio Rodriguez, one of the greatest master Judo instructors in the state of NJ and the US. This is where Lester grew from a boy to a man under the instruction of Sensei Julio and his father.
