A Path Built on Discipline and Design
Ervin Quintin is a martial artist, coach, and founder of Impact Martial Arts in Virginia Beach.
Background
I began my career in the United States Navy, where I developed discipline, accountability, and an understanding of structured environments. After my time in service, I worked in cybersecurity, focusing on systems, infrastructure, and problem-solving.
Over time, those experiences shaped how I approach training, teaching, and leadership—through clarity, structure, and long-term thinking.
Current Work
Today, my work centers on building and developing systems around martial arts and education.
I run Impact Martial Arts, where I teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Filipino Martial Arts through structured programs designed for long-term growth. I also work on instructor development through Train the Trainer, and design business systems that improve operations through clarity and automation.
Perspective
I see training as a long-term practice. Progress is not immediate, and most outcomes are the result of consistent effort over time.
I focus on building systems—both in training and in business—that remove confusion and support steady development. The goal is not just performance, but creating environments where people can continue, improve, and grow.

Impact Martial Arts Academy is where the work is applied day to day—training, instruction, and program development. It serves as the foundation for coaching, instructor development, and systems built around martial arts and education.
