  1. Stephen Word

    There’s a fairly well-known meme that beautifully encapsulates what a session with Mr. Yuan is like, and that is – “There’s levels to this.”

    It’s nice to see a person every now and then that actually lived up to their potential in life. Mr. Yuan strikes me as the type of guy who had a Tiger Mom, and did everything right from square one, as perfectly as it could be done. Go check his bio and you’ll see, his level of certification and experience is not something you see very often at all. He’s basically Yoda.

  2. Chris Bathke

    Having practiced and taught martial arts before ever training fitness clients or other athletes I can appreciate Mark & Jimmy’s depth of knowledge and ability to apply concepts from MA into other sports or even training day to day clients. Martial arts have much to offer in terms of motor control and other aspects of movement many if not most of our clients need some work on, and in this lecture they give some examples of how that can be addressed.
