Coach Michael ODonnell (BJJ, MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Submission Wrestling)
Who am I?
I believe we are all on our own journey to find out the answer to that simple question?
I am a work in progress, my goal is to keep evolving into better version of my former-self, compressing new experiences of today with yesterday’s trues, to embrace the present and and plan for the possibilities of the future!
