Brad was diagnosed with severe asthma as a child that he still battles with it till this day. Doctors told him it would be unlikely for him to be able to participate in sports, never mind compete in any form of athletics. He proved the doctors wrong and believes the asthma helped instill a "never give up" attitude with in himself. Although it can make training difficult, Brad believes that we all have our handicaps and that we must fight through them, mentally and physically. He instills this same attitude in his students.

We are proud that our instructors put it on the line themselves where some schools offer instruction from someone who has never tested his or her skills.
