Osahon Omo-Osagie (“Os”) is the Boxing II instructor for Titan Fitness & Martial Arts. Os has been involved with the sport of boxing for ten years. He boxed for four years in college at Lock Haven University. In that time, he earned two All-American awards, three regional championship titles, a National Runner up title, and in his final year, he won the 2004 National Collegiate Boxing Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada. After that, he competed in the amateur ranks until deciding he was ready to turn pro. In pursuit of his dream, he moved back to New York City to train at Johns Gym in the Bronx for two years where he worked with world class professional boxers.

As a coach, Os was hired as an assistant coach of the University of Lock Haven. In his second year of coaching, Lock Haven won the team National Championship. He later started coaching at a local fitness club he trained over 20 students. He served as an assistant coach for the Penn State University Boxing Team last year and will continue in that capacity in the coming season.

Paul — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:30:46 +0000

Titan Fitness & Martial Arts will be hosting an Erik Paulson seminar October 24 & 25. This seminar marks the third year in a row that this living mixed martial arts legend has come to State College. Erik Paulson was a two-time light heavyweight shootwrestling champion. Following his fighting career, Mr. Paulson founded the fighting system Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW), one of the few complete mixed martial arts systems in the world today. It combines all elements of MMA to include boxing, Thai boxing, clinching, takedowns, and submissions. Mr. Paulson has had a tremendous influence on the present day mixed martial arts community training such notable fighters as Sean Sherk, Josh Barnett, James Wilks, and present UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar.

Titan Fitness & Martial Arts is proud to be the only facility in Central Pennsylvania certified to teach Mr. Paulson’s amazing mixed martial arts fighting system. If you are interested in mixed martial arts, we encourage you to attend this amazing seminar. Prices are $150 for both days and $80 for one day of training. We encourage you to go to the seminar link of our website for more information. Spots are limited but a few are available. The best part? If you are from the Central PA region, State College, or Penn State, you don’t have to travel very far to learn from one of the all-time MMA greats. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of having the great Erik Paulson right here in State College.

After a four and a half month layoff since his last fight, Titan Fitness boxing instructor and Penn State boxer, Dan Testa won a decision in his return to the ring at an amateur event in Uniontown, PA last Sunday on August 16, 2009. After a slow start, Dan dominated his opponent Eric Parker in the second and third rounds with a barrage of attacks to the body. Dan raises his record to 7 wins against only 2 losses. With one more fight, Dan qualifies for the open division of the amateur level.
