PJ’s unique ability to balance fun with intensity in each session allowed me to enjoy the sport while progressing faster than I ever thought possible. I am forever appreciative of PJ’s contribution to my growth as an athlete and a human being.”
“I started working with PJ right after having major shoulder surgery. I was very depressed and felt terrible not being able to fully train, but he worked around it and allowed me to stay in shape and work on whatever other techniques I could. Within a few months we gradually started doing more and more, and before I knew it, we were in full training camp for my UFC fight. PJ not only played a huge part in helping me win my fight with technique but also mentally to keep my spirits and my confidence high. I look forward to becoming a World Champion with the help of PJ!”
