U.S. Army Private
"Baby Stamp"


"Baby Stamp" Caitlin Phillips began training in kickboxing as a teenager before coming to JSMA; joining as an instructor for the A.M.P. Kickfit program. Her experience in American Kickboxing advanced her training in Budo/Bujutsu and Muay Thai. She quickly rose in the ranks, training 5 to 6 days a week, becoming the first Certified Black Belt Graduate under Renshi Chris Sackett. She spent some time away joining the ranks of the United States Army but a medical discharge saw her return to JSMA. Now more focused than ever - she competes outside the dojo in K1 Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA looking to one day go Pro!

Sensei Caitlin is also a Knighted Dame under the Supremus Militum Britannic Holy Order of the Knights Templar of the United States and Canada.
