Krampus 2017 - Stick Fighting Event

I enjoy practicing and teaching Filipino Martial Arts ("FMA"). Although I specialize in empty-hand FMA known as Filipino Boxing, Panantukan, or Suntukan, I enjoy the weapon aspect of FMA as well. On December 30, Chris Caban, one of my favorite FMA instructors, is hosting his annual Stick Fighting Event known as Krampus. Practicing with sticks and other weapons in the air is fine, but there is nothing like applying your skills a real-life combat situation. If you are a FMA practitioner in the Atlanta area, please join us for this great event. For those who have never sparred with weapons before, the typical equipment to bring is a fencing mask, padded sticks, and lacrosse gloves.

Grandmaster Ulysses "Pop" Winn Jr

My first martial arts instructor Grandmaster Ulysses "Pop" Winn passed away on May 9, 2024. He was a 10th degree black belt in Nisei Goju Ryu. Thank you Sensei for being a mentor and positive role model to me when I was growing up. Until we meet again in heaven.

Fit to Fight

I am a big believer in physical fitness. This is especially important for those engaged in Combat Sports, such as Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA. It does not matter how skillful you are if you cannot go the distance. That is why I became a Certified MMA Conditioning Coach. I wanted to have the knowledge to train athletes to be in top physical condition to compete successfully. To show just how serious I am about fitness, I recently entered a fitness competition. I am competing to be crowned Mr. Health & Fitness for 2023. You can view my profile and cast your vote here: https://featured.muscleandfitness.com/2023/roderick-p

"LOLA 2"

This is a case of art imitating life. I am a Boxing Coach in real-life. I had the opportunity to serve as an Executive Producer and Action Director of the new female boxing movie "LOLA 2." The movie stars actress "Taja V. Simpson" as Lola and real-life boxing champ "Claressa Shields" as her nemesis. You can check out the movie on the ALLBLK streaming platform. The first "LOLA" is available there too. You can watch the new movie at https://allblk.tv/lolatwo .
