Welcome

At Enlisted Nine Fight Company, we are more than a jiu-jitsu academy—we are a community of like-minded individuals united by a shared mission to become better people, both on and off the mats. Founded under the guidance of former UFC fighter and third-degree black belt Colton Smith, first-degree black belt Richard Pasinski, second-degree black belt Seth Caron, second-degree black belt Mike Pagano, and brown belt Tara Pagano, all trained under the esteemed John Ouano, our academy is built on a foundation of excellence, discipline, and camaraderie.

 

We proudly place a heavy emphasis on supporting our first responders, active military, and veterans, fostering an environment where their strength and service are honored. Whether you call it a family, a tribe, or a team, Enlisted Nine is a community dedicated to growth, resilience, and mutual support.

 

We believe in the transformative power of jiu-jitsu to build physical confidence and mental competence. Just as a swimmer needs a safe pool to learn, our academy provides a secure and welcoming space to develop lifelong skills. Join us to embark on a journey of self-improvement, forge lasting bonds, and discover the magic of jiu-jitsu in a training environment designed for life.

The Enlisted Nine represents those who are at the points of friction in their professions and lives, where the rubber meets the road, the blue collar types, the ones kickin’ in doors and winnin’ wars, snappin’ necks and cashing checks! THAT is who we pay homage to when we fly the Enlisted Nine Fight Company shield & banner!

At Enlisted Nine Fight Company Edgewater, our kids jiu-jitsu program is dedicated to building strong, self-reliant young individuals; that are not only inclined to help others but are able. We see martial arts as a powerful tool to teach life lessons, with self-discipline as an essential skill at the core of our training. Our program empowers kids with the physical and mental tools to protect themselves, defend the weak, and stand up against foolishness, fostering resilience, wisdom, and a commitment to uplifting their community as confident leaders.

The E9FC Code

Fitness Program

I’m Taylor Strong — I am a proud father, a husband, and a devout Christian. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC) with a background in both the military and law enforcement. My approach to fitness is rooted in discipline, mental toughness, and real-world functionality. I don’t believe in quick fixes — I believe in building lasting strength from the inside out. Through years of serving in high-pressure environments, I’ve learned the value of structure, accountability, and resilience — and I bring those same principles to every training session. My goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform at your highest level, whether that’s in the gym, on the job, or in everyday life. I create customized fitness and nutrition programs that are sustainable, effective, and built to fit your goals — not just for now, but for the long haul. If you’re ready to put in the work, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. 


Let’s get after it!
