I found thier proposal quite interesting , Ato I am forwarding this information to you , to let me know if it might or actually work and secondly if the nutrients supplements they used is all legal. But if it is legal I am thinking of trying to get athletes such as Jacey Harper , Kevon Pierre etc , and monitor them and see if they get any improvements in their times , I also think Fana might be a suitable canidate . Tell me what you think. It is actually using Karate techniques to improve the athletes
