Fighting Chance Health and Fitness

About

Early Interest in martial arts, boxing, and strength training lit a passion to understand how the human body works. How best to recover from injuries, and how best to avoid them? What are the benefits and potential drawbacks of specific remedies and modalities? How best to keep people fit and well, to enhance life and experience. To minimize pain, injury, and recovery while maximizing participation and enjoyment in life.
