Kobe Bryant


Kobe Bryant
Just like Bruce Lee ... I believe Kobe Bryant is going to inspire many more people in death than he did in life ... Kobe and Bruce had so much in common ... both put "everything" they had into their craft ... martial arts for Bruce ... basketball for Kobe ... both were focused ... driven ... their hard work paid off in spectacular fashion ... leaving a path for future generations to follow ... I had a poster of Bruce Lee on my wall as a kid ... I still remember the image on that poster ... a scene from "Enter the Dragon" with Bruce holding two kali sticks ... I believe the inspiration I received from looking up at that poster every day growing up helped contribute to whatever success I have had in life ... now there will be kids who were not alive during Kobe's lifetime wearing his jersey ... watching old clips of his games on their smart phones ... looking at images of Kobe dunking a basketball on their screensavers ... being inspired to work hard to make their own dreams come true ... for me it was Bruce Lee ... for them it will be Kobe Bryant ... different person ... same result.

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 .
