Edir Terry

MMA & Fitness Coach

Edir Terry, born and raised in Venezuela, has been an athlete his entire life, starting his journey at the tender age of 3 with baseball, the nation’s beloved sport. At just 12 years old, Edir faced one of the most life-altering decisions—leaving his home country for the United States. With his family selling everything to start anew, he found himself in an unfamiliar land, grappling with a new culture and language. Despite these challenges, he adapted quickly, growing into a resilient and ambitious individual.

In his teenage years, Edir’s passion for adrenaline-filled activities led him to sports like skateboarding, rollerblading, and BMX. However, a lifelong fascination with martial arts—sparked by watching action-packed fighting films—drove him to join a karate dojo at 15. Within just a month of training, he began competing, eventually becoming a regional, state, and world champion in his division and weight class.

Edir’s hunger for growth propelled him into mixed martial arts (MMA), where he mastered various styles and became a prominent figure in South Florida’s MMA scene. As a professional fighter, he achieved significant victories, earned numerous awards, and cemented his reputation as a top competitor.
Beyond the ring, Edir expanded his influence as an entrepreneur, coach, and philanthropist. He has trained athletes of all levels, worked with elite gyms, collaborated with the University of Miami, and built a successful career as a cutman, commentator, and combat sports analyst. His creative ventures include custom apparel and mouthguards, showcasing his innovative spirit.
Today, Edir channels his experiences into empowering others, spearheading nonprofit initiatives, and exploring investments. He is currently working on two transformative projects—a self-development book and a documentary chronicling his journey. Edir Terry is proof that with determination and grit, anything is possible.
