"If it wasn't for Joel McGuire and the folks at PFC, I don't think I'd still be grappling. In 2013, I tore my ACL on the mats (because someone decided to jump guard and land on my knee) and every specialists I met said I needed surgery if I ever wanted to play any sports.
However, doctors could not guarantee a full recovery. They also said I have to be on crutches for a few months and do rehab for almost six months. After a year, I could flirt with the idea of playing sports but it wasn't recommended.
I had just started working with Joel and PFC a few weeks prior to the the injury when they were still located along Jalan Ipoh in KL and I decided to take the another route after talking to the them, doing some research online and consulting a few others who suffered the same injury.
I decided to skip surgery all together and focus on rebuilding my leg muscles to give me balance and stability. Now, unlike other meathead trainers, this wasn't a lift-as-much-as-you-can session. Everything was about functionality and movement. As they say at PFC, move as you play.
Within two months, I was back on the mats and within four I was rolling again. After working with these guys, I felt stronger, my movement got better, my Judo improved because I was comfortable standing on one leg (try throwing something while standing on one leg and you will know what I mean) and I wasn't getting all the annoying muscle pulls.
I recommend PFC to anyone out there. You don't have to be an athlete to work with them. They will teach you the right way to workout. It's the best investment you can make on yourself."
