Amanda Flippin began her martial arts journey at just four years old, training in Tae Kwon Do, where she eventually earned her Black Belt before taking a break to focus on basketball during her school years. In 2009, she returned to combat sports, diving into Mixed Martial Arts at Rowlett Martial Arts Center, where she earned her Blue Belt under Erik Boranian.

In addition to her role at New Concept BJJ, she is the manager and a personal trainer at Greater Than Performance & Rehab, located just next door. Her expertise extends beyond the mats-she has years of experience in facility operations and management, ensuring every member and visitor has a top-tier experience.
