Testimonials
Joe’s system of applying martial arts skills to the world of professional football has proven to be successful for many years. The key to a strong defense is the ability to apply pressure on the quarterback, and the dramatic increases in sacks, pressures and hurries of every student he has worked with, in a relatively short time frame, is amazing. Joe is very methodical in his approach, paying close attention to details, with a keen sense of how to effectively communicate his techniques in a manner that every NFL player understands and appreciates.

Bob Markowitz
