About Rick Cockerham
Rick's extensive martial arts experience focuses on mastering the fine details of every technique. His philosophy is simple: if you need to rely on power to make a technique work, it’s time to slow down and refine your form. The best way to learn any technique is to practice it correctly and slowly—when it comes time to fight, your muscles will know precisely what to do. Speed and power will come naturally with physical training.
