Default hi

1. yes, I have trained with Matt before - painful, enlightening and maybe even life changing experience.
2. yes, I'm running this seminar with a little help from my friends: John - student, friend and sponsor (Capitol Nutrition - www.bestpricenutrition.com) and Steve from High Intensity MA.
if you have any other questions let me know. hope to see you guys there - it should be a great event!

too bad. maybe you know someone who lives in chicago land / WI / IN and would like to participate?
right now I'm almost retired but my mma record is 2-1. still compete in grappling tournaments and some of my guys are doing pretty good in the cage and on the mat.

Definitely one I'd liketo go to but also, sadly, a tad too far for me to travel

Please hang around the forums though and tell us some more about your MA history.
