Accomplished Mixed Martial Artist
I have successfully trained in a mixed martial arts system strongly influenced by Pat Miltech fighting Systems. I have been training in some capacity for 16 years teaching myself as well as others who have gone on to become skilled martial artists as well. I have competed and won in amateur competitions for both grappling and MMA. I have become adept enough to evolve some of these tactics to help with controlling combative individuals.
