Under the expert guidance of the three times Professional World Champion Dmitri Piasetsky Greg quickly grew as a fighter. It was at that time that Greg realized that he is so passionate about combat arts and athletic lifestyle that he would like to dedicate his life to developing his full athletic potential and later, guiding other people to achieve the same.

As a Sports Fitness Specialist myself, I'm extremely critical of other trainers - I can count on one hand the number of trainers I've met who are truly qualified. Greg without question is one of them and exemplifies everything the fitness industry should be about. He's a bright guy, but doesn't complicate matters. His training is intense, but safe and result producing. I cannot wait for more! Jon Rimmer Sports Fitness Specialist, National Academy of Sports Medicine |
