Recenzii
"There have been a lot of books written about combat sports by journalists and just as many written by fighters. Christopher Olech's The Fighter Within is the rare book by an author who is both, and you will gain more insight on the fight game and those in it from this book than anything I've read in a long time. I recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn what it truly takes to fight--in the ring, Octagon, or life." --Thomas Gerbasi, Editorial Director for the UFC
"Start reading it…don't wait!" --Jason Kelly, Rear Naked Choke Radio
"A wonderful ride that encompasses the true essence of martial arts. Olech beautifully relates the common man with the teachings and spirit of many of the sport's masters." --Joe Ferraro, host of UFC Central radio

Born in Toronto, Canada to immigrant parents, Christopher Olech's immersion into the world of martial arts began after the UFC Welterweight Champion, Matt Hughes, came to town for a seminar. Christopher began training in the Mixed Martial Arts, eventually putting his skills to the test in the ring, where he won a Grapplers Quest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament Gold Finish, and was the IBBA Hall of Fame Competitor of the Year in 2010. He helped organize one of the biggest MMA seminars to come to Toronto Canada, The Paradise Warrior Retreat, which featured eight internationally-known competitors. Olech is a certified Athletic Performance Inc. Caveman Training Instructor. As a freelance journalist, he covers fighting events in all fields of martial arts and boxing, and he's contributed to various MMA and boxing websites as well as print media.
