Kennedy brings over 18 years of martial arts experience and a deep understanding of striking, movement, and foundational wrestling to her role as a Striking and Combatives Coach at Honey Badger Muay Thai & BJJ.
A 2nd-degree black belt in Isshinryu Karate, an active Muay Thai athlete, and a former OUA varsity wrestler with Brock University, Kennedy specializes in teaching well-rounded stand-up skills with a strong emphasis on wrestling basics—a vital but often overlooked part of modern striking and self-defense training.
Her ability to break down technique and connect with students across all experience levels has made her an essential part of the academy’s success—especially in youth development, beginner striking, and female-led instruction.
