Thank you to Jennifer Weintz who in a few short training sessions, taught me a number of concepts that helped me even the odds against much bigger grappling opponents, which served to refine my approach to ground defense. Her example is an inspiration to martial artists everywhere, male or female.

I also want to thank all the other instructors who have taught me over the years and inspired me to continually progress, with special mentions going out to Robert Mustard Sensei, Andy Dobie Sensei, Michael Seamark Shihan, and Perry William Kelly Sensei.

Thanks to all my training buddies who made themselves available to help me work on my book by asking questions, putting pressure on my concepts, and play testing them, including Jonathan Jamnik, Stu Cooke, Jon Thompson and Matt Der.

My students have also been a rock of support through the writing of my book, cheerleading me on as I finished each chapter, reminding me who it’s all for.

A big thank you also goes out to Bud Sperry, who “found” me, believed in my vision, and supported my book from proposal, to editing, and all the way through to publication.
