About Remedy Combat

One ecosystem. A shared mission.

Combat athletes shouldn't need five disconnected companies to manage five parts of their careers. Remedy Combat is being built to connect fighter health, performance, branding, sponsorship, apparel and event infrastructure under one collaborative ecosystem.

Our Position

Performance medicine + regeneration for combat sports.

Remedy Combat is a division of Remedy Health & Wellness in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The parent brand is one of South Florida's leading performance medicine and IV therapy clinics. Remedy Combat is what happens when that clinical infrastructure gets purpose-built for the demands of professional combat athletes and the promoters, sponsors and gyms around them.

Founder & CEO

Kevin O'Connor

Strategic Growth & Operations

Kevin O'Connor is the Founder and CEO of Remedy Health & Wellness and Remedy Combat Systems. With nearly 30 years of experience spanning combat sports, human performance, emergency medicine, firefighting, leadership, and healthcare entrepreneurship, Kevin brings an uncommon combination of disciplines to the development of the Remedy Combat platform.

His background includes training in Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Krav Maga, alongside excellence in personal training and physical performance. Professionally, Kevin spent nearly two decades in Fire Rescue as a paramedic, Lieutenant, and Rescue Supervisor, developing extensive experience in emergency medicine, trauma, recovery, and high-performance decision-making under pressure.

After retiring from Fire Rescue, Kevin founded Remedy Health + Wellness, building a healthcare platform focused on performance medicine, recovery, regeneration, diagnostics, and human optimization. Working alongside physicians and clinicians — and seeing firsthand the physical demands placed on combat athletes — led him to recognize a significant gap in the industry: fighters have access to coaches and gyms, but lack a truly integrated system dedicated to measuring, protecting, recovering, and optimizing the athlete throughout a fighting career. That experience became the foundation for Remedy Combat Systems.

Rather than approaching fighter performance from a single discipline, Kevin developed Remedy Combat Systems to bring together advanced diagnostics, performance medicine, regeneration, recovery, athlete development, sponsorship, apparel, technology, and long-term performance tracking into one interconnected platform built specifically around combat athletes.

His philosophy is straightforward: fighters should be treated as professional athletes, and their bodies should be measured, monitored, protected, and optimized like it.

Medical Director · Physician

Dr. Jarrod Wilson, MD

Dr. Jarrod Wilson is a physician, surgeon, and Medical Director of The Remedy IV Health + Wellness, with a clinical focus on performance medicine, regenerative medicine, hormone optimization, longevity, and advanced wellness therapies.

A South Florida native, Dr. Wilson earned his undergraduate degree in Biotechnology from Marshall University before attending the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. His medical training includes anesthesiology and surgical experience, providing a broad clinical foundation that combines procedural medicine, physiology, acute care, and patient-centered treatment.

At The Remedy, Dr. Wilson oversees clinical protocols and physician-directed care while working with patients seeking to improve health, recovery, physical performance, and long-term quality of life. His areas of interest include regenerative and musculoskeletal medicine, ultrasound-guided procedures, hormone and metabolic optimization, peptide-based therapies, advanced biomarker testing, IV therapy, body composition, recovery, and individualized performance medicine.

His approach is influenced by the idea that meaningful optimization begins with understanding the individual. Rather than relying solely on symptoms or conventional reference ranges, Dr. Wilson combines clinical evaluation with advanced diagnostics and objective performance data to identify opportunities for improving recovery, metabolic health, body composition, hormonal balance, and overall performance.

Regenerative medicine is another major component of his clinical interests — physician-directed treatment strategies for musculoskeletal health and recovery, including ultrasound-guided joint and soft-tissue procedures, combined with appropriate diagnostics, rehabilitation, and recovery modalities.

Performance medicine is also personal to Dr. Wilson. With a longstanding background in bodybuilding, strength training, nutrition, and human performance, he understands the demands placed on individuals who expect more from their bodies than simply being "healthy." His interest in biohacking and longevity drives him to continually explore emerging diagnostics, recovery technologies, and evidence-informed strategies to improve human performance and healthspan.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Wilson is an avid motorsports enthusiast and competes in motorcycle racing. The discipline required in racing — conditioning, reaction time, concentration, recovery, technical precision, and managing performance under pressure — closely parallels his interest in human performance medicine.

Today, Dr. Wilson brings these worlds together through his work with The Remedy IV Health + Wellness and Remedy Combat Systems, helping develop physician-guided programs for patients, athletes, and combat-sports competitors. His role extends beyond treating individual conditions to building comprehensive systems that use diagnostics, medicine, recovery, regeneration, and performance data to help people better understand and optimize their bodies.

Measure what matters, identify what can be improved, intervene intelligently, and continually reassess the results.

Director of Fighter Development & Strategic Partnerships

Master Charles Panoyan

Kukkiwon-Credentialed Taekwondo Master

Master Charles Panoyan is a lifelong martial artist, master instructor, competitor, coach, academy founder and athlete-development specialist whose career spans traditional martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mixed martial arts, fitness, conditioning and high-performance fighter development.

A Kukkiwon-credentialed Taekwondo Master, Charles has trained extensively across multiple martial-arts disciplines throughout his career. His background includes black-belt-level training in Taekwondo, Kempo, Shotokan Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido, Goju-Ryu Karate, Judo and Capoeira, along with extensive experience in Muay Thai. His documented Taekwondo credentials include a 4th Dan Black Belt (Master) certification dating to 2006, followed by subsequent Kukkiwon advancement later in his career.

Charles's experience extends far beyond traditional martial-arts instruction. Over decades as a competitor, coach, gym owner and program developer, he has worked inside the environments where fighters are actually built — from youth and amateur development through advanced competition and professional MMA.

The Blackzilians

A defining chapter of Charles's career has been his involvement with the Blackzilians, one of South Florida's most recognizable professional MMA teams and training environments. Charles is identified publicly as a founder / part owner of the Blackzilian Performance Institute, while independent combat-sports database Tapology lists him as a Blackzilians co-owner. The Blackzilians environment has included UFC champions, world-class coaches and professional fighters across multiple combat disciplines.

That experience placed Charles inside the professional-fighter ecosystem — not simply as a martial-arts instructor, but as an academy operator, coach, athlete developer and relationship builder working alongside high-level combat-sports talent.

An especially important relationship throughout that work has been Charles's longstanding collaboration with Rashad Evans, UFC Hall of Famer and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Charles and Evans have worked within the Blackzilians / Velocity training ecosystem, and Velocity Martial Arts currently identifies Evans as part of its coaching team alongside Charles.

That relationship is particularly relevant to Remedy Combat Systems because it reflects Charles's ability to bridge traditional martial arts, professional MMA, elite fighters, coaches, gyms and the broader combat-sports community.

Academy & Athlete Development

Charles has founded, owned or operated multiple martial-arts and combat-sports organizations, including American Top Team Pompano, American Top Team Boca Raton, Velocity Martial Arts Pompano, Velocity Martial Arts Boca Raton and the Blackzilian Performance Institute.

Across those organizations, he has developed training programs, mentored instructors, cultivated fighter and coaching relationships and helped build high-performance environments centered around technical development, conditioning, discipline, resilience and competitive preparation.

Today, Charles continues to oversee martial-arts instruction, fitness programming, athlete development, instructor development and high-level combat-sports training through Velocity Martial Arts, whose coaching platform brings together Charles, Rashad Evans and other elite combat-sports athletes and instructors.

Role Within Remedy Combat Systems

At Remedy Combat Systems, Charles serves as Director of Fighter Development & Strategic Partnerships, providing a critical connection between Remedy's physician-led performance platform and the combat-sports world.

His value to Remedy extends well beyond his martial-arts credentials. Charles brings decades of fighter-development experience and an established network of fighters, coaches, gym owners, martial-arts organizations and combat-sports relationships.

Within Remedy Combat, Charles focuses on fighter development, athlete recruitment, gym and team relationships, strategic partnerships, sponsorship opportunities, apparel initiatives and combat-sports integration. He also provides an experienced fighter-and-coach perspective as Remedy continues developing its 12-week Fight Camp Protocol and broader Fighter Performance Systems.

Medicine understands the body. Coaches understand the fight. Charles understands the world connecting the two.

His role helps ensure that Remedy Combat Systems isn't a healthcare company attempting to enter combat sports. It is a fighter-performance platform being developed with leadership that has spent decades inside the martial-arts and professional MMA ecosystem.

The coach builds the fighter. Remedy builds the performance system around them.
