Angry Suit Brian.
Fighting this kid is like wearing a suit that hates your guts and won't come off.   Never allowing any day light between himself and his opponent Brian can wear down bigger men and rarely misses a hook.  He is also a very skilled instructor.		 bri_side2.jpg (61298 bytes)

210 Pounds of Virginia night mare.  I got the chance to play around with him in February and I was glad we where just playing.  By June - it wasn't even fun playing with him. Tough, Strong, Smart and Bald - What more could you want in a grappler?

Like all of Tony's fighter Bruce is tough, technically wise and very hard to hook.   But more then that Bruce is an excellent teacher and training partner. Bruce is also the co-star of Tony's excellent Video series. Click here to join the Bruce Lee fan club

Tony Checceni - Shown here in a moment of Zen like meditation is the best kept secret in Grappling..  While people of half his ability are invited to national seminars for the wrestling enthusiast Tony attracts true fanatics to pilgrim to back of a little tool and die shop on the out skirts of Chicago.  What impressed me even more then the breath and depth of Tony's skills is the fact that he is so good people will gladly train in conditions that would need to take a big step up to be called Spartan.  The first time I went I received a welt on my head from a metal door, a bone bruise from slamming into a metal furnace and more abrasions from the concrete floor then I care to remember.   Two days later I came back for more.  If this guy had a gym with 1500 sq feet of sprung floor and all the amenities that many martial arts gyms have I would like to think Tony would have 200 students.  But the truth is he would still only have a hand full of disciples - because only true fighters could hang with these guys.  Hard core training separates the serious from the curious real fast.  If you think your a grappler you need to meet this guy.
