March 3rd BJJ Benefit Seminar
My friend, Mike Reddish, is the proud father of two sons and daughters, the co-owner of the legendary MMA gym, Miletich Fighting Systems, and one of the most caring advocates for the sport that I've known. Mike was diagnosed with aggressive pancreatic cancer in December of 2012.
Six black belts have signed up to teach at a seminar to benefit Mike Reddish and his family at Robot Fight & Fitness in Los Angeles. This would be a great seminar to prepare for the Pan-Ams later in March. It will also a great way to contribute to a great supporter and instructor of our beloved sport. Instructors include:
