    Willie’s Achilles

    On June 30, 2010 By

At my gym, the Martial Arts & Sports Complex, I have trained many a high school, college, and pro offensive linemen in the system. Dan Radakovich, “Bad Rad” to his former players he coached as [...]

          The martial discipline of Jiu Jitsu is beautiful. And extremely potent. Never more was this demonstrated to me than one lesson with my instructor, Edward Lee Vincent.

          After executing a takedown on Ed during one of our many sparring sessions, I landed in his guard. Ed lay on his back, using his legs like hands [...]

            Boxing is grueling. There’s no other way to put it. When you train for a boxing match, the regimen is primitive and rough. Desire is the greatest weapon of any boxer. You gott’a want to box. Otherwise it’s just too hard. Competitive boxing is not for everyone. But boxing as a conditioning tool and as [...]

              One of the men that I developed huge respect for as a rookie and then as a teammate lining up next to him is an all-time super Steeler, offensive tackle Jon Kolb.

                Winning At Any Cost
