The inspiring biography of Rick Koenig. A person whose life journey has been filled with diverse experiences, challenges, and personal growth. 

Rick Koenig embarked on a remarkable journey at the early age of 4 when he began his martial arts training. Growing up in New Jersey, Rick had a unique upbringing, as their father owned pizzerias, where they actively participated in running and working. 

In later years, Rick transitioned into the world of security, working at nightclubs in both Philadelphia and New Jersey. During this time, Rick had the opportunity to cross paths with notable figures like Paul Wight II, and he also provided security for legendary individuals such as Mike Tyson and Dennis Rodman. 

However, life took a challenging turn as Rick found himself entangled in "mob connections," leading him down a troubling path that ultimately resulted in imprisonment alongside his father in the maximum-state security prisons of the Department of Corrections in New Jersy.

Upon Rick's release, Rick exhibited resilience and determination by purchasing and owning MMA facilities while pursuing a career as a professional fighter in the late 1980's. In 2009, Rick decided to relocate to Branson, Missouri and he opened his own MMA school. 

In the world of martial arts, Rick played a significant role as they trained law enforcement personnel and even became a member of the 1% Biker's Club, showcasing his commitment to the craft. 

Life dealt Rick further challenges as he faced separation and the heart-wrenching disappearance of his oldest son for two years. Although his son was eventually found, his son's passing under suspicious circumstances cast a shadow of doubt and conspiracy theories. 

Rick courageously confronted his own struggles with alcohol addiction, triumphing over this formidable adversary. Today, Rick has transitioned into his full-time role at his gym, dedicating his energy to training others, serving as an inspiration, leader, and mentor. His journey is a testament to resilience, personal growth, and the unwavering pursuit of a better future.
