About Rick Cockerham
Rick's extensive martial arts experience has been focused on the details of the arts. He believes if you have to use power to make a technique work, then you need to go back and practice slowly. The best way to learn a technique is to do it correctly and slowly. Then when it comes time to fight your muscles will know how to do the technique precisely. Speed and power will come naturally.
