RIP Jon Cottle
Former boxing partner that trained with me and coached me to getting in the ring for the first time 2001 Tough Man Contest . Greensboro Coliseum .
Ring name was big bad Jon
Well known for his wrestling and putting on a great show . I remember when he got hit upside the head with a chair and we all charged the ring because we thought it was for real .he took me to his wrestling camp but I wanted to punch someone in the face at that time in my life so he signed me and him up for a tough man boxing contest .
He told me never quiet find your style and go for it all the way !!
RIP Sensei Frank Ross
A great christian man a preacher man , and a family man
Sensei Ross was a great partner and I enjoyed training NinJutsu from sensei Tim Ross his son and Frank Ross the Dad . Them boys made me tough and showed me how to cover up and make a better defense at that time it got the best of me but looking back it helped formed me and made me the world champion I turned out to be many years down the road .
The only man I know that broke concrete slabs with his head .
A true Ninja and a warrior of self defense
Sure miss the talks and the prayers .
RIP Instructor Bob Yoder my kickboxing instructor . A great martial artist well known for old school KungFu and Kickboxing and the creator of his modern martial arts system.
