I have also been blessed to  
learn from so many gifted
and pioneering instructors,
coaches, and competitors in
cross fitness conditioning,
psychological, and martial
arts evolution. By working
out and, Yes competing with
some of them head-to-head, I
developed comprehensive
knowledge and a
progressive understanding
for effective translation from
tradition and theory into
functional adaptation and
application.
