RB: Our basic approach in training and teaching is based on our game plan, which is pressure fighting. Wrestling is a system wherein you do not give your opponent an inch so you can set up your next move. The specific moves we specialize on are moves that understand and take advantage of the body’s natural biomechanics and we find a way to interrupt the natural flow and you get the takedown, advantage position, control or submission. In screening our fighters what is more important to me is what I call combat/battle acumen—the fighter’s natural ability and desire for combat.
