Through years of discipline and competition, Andre also built a solid grappling foundation with 17 years of no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, including time spent competing on the mats. His well-rounded skill set has made him a trusted sparring partner and training partner for elite-level fighters across Long Island, NYC, and New Jersey.

In addition to fighting, Andre has earned a strong reputation as a professional coach. At East West MMA, he worked closely with longtime coach Roberto Beltran, helping to build one of Long Island’s most respected fight teams. Together, they developed a roster of high-performing athletes—including Devan Worth, Rick Schaefer, and Patrick Carrol—who have gone on to dominate in both kickboxing and MMA competition.

Now in 2025, Coach Shuler is taking the next step in his journey with the launch of his own team and school: Kickboxing1o1. This new chapter is focused on building the next generation of champions—providing top-tier coaching, real-world fight experience, and the mindset required to win inside and outside the ring.

Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals or an aspiring pro ready to level up, Coach Shuler brings the knowledge, intensity, and authenticity to help you reach your full potential.
