GM Miller

Before one begins training in a structured MMA class or informal training session, consideration must be given to the ideology of the warm up. In other words, we are all not of the same build or body composition when it comes to the fundamentals of body mechanics. On Saturday, March 4, 2012, Grandmaster Miller will be hosting a seminar on Body Mechanics of the MMA. This seminar is by invitation only, and inquires can be forwarded to GM Miller at the following email address.
