Rodney King: Owner & Head Coach PMA-Life Studio Print

[ In the past several years I have taught in over 20 countries around the world. After the thousands of people who have attended my seminars, the one realization I have had is that martial arts is a unique and postive vehicle for helping people become champions beyond the mat and ring- into their life and career. Today my philosophy is simple, if the martial arts I coach does not create positive and lasting change in the life of my clients and myself- then I no longer want to do it. Thankfully this has not happened and in fact I continue to find inspiration and life changing lessons in my martial arts each and every day I coach and practice! ]
