Mitch always believed in overcoming the gravest of challenges that came across in his life’s journey with confidence, and that kept him going all these years. To face life’s toughest situations, he enrolled in the Navy and eventually graduated from BUDs Class 273 in 2008. He was placed into the SEAL Team 10 in 2009 and deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 for 11 months, where he worked as a multipurpose dog handler for a year and then deployed to Europe for 6 months on his next mission. During his tenure he faced a lot of situations which were strong enough to break the weak hearted, but those didn’t bother him much as he was destined to win all the way.

His passion for this art also had him won awards, with him winning the amateur MMA record of 15-1 and being ranked #1 on the East coast in both the Welterweight and Middleweight divisions, which was quite an impressive feat. Simultaneously, he began to teach other close quarters combat.
In March 2017, he established his company MASF (Mitch Aguiar Smashin’ Frog) Supplements, which initially dealt in selling his fight shirts out of his spare bedroom which eventually shaped up into a full-fledged apparel line, accessories and high quality supplements brand.
