Pictured is Martin Rooney training the NY Jets team in hand fighting skills/martial arts for football.  Martin and his team of fighters were brought in by the NY Jets this offseason for 10 weeks to work with the team to help add some new concepts to training.

This was an amazing experience and everyone, including the Parisi staff grew from it. The program involved techniques from jiu jitsu, jeet kune do, judo, wrestling, and boxing, and the players were treated to have professional fighters visit as well.  We look forward to seeing some of the information utilized this year on Sundays.

In addition to this great news, Bill Parisi also spoke last week for the NFL for the third year in a row during their Hall of Fame week in Canton, Ohio.  Bill was so impressive that this article was written about his performance and how he influenced coaches from across the country.  It is a must read to get a feel of the Parisi Experience.

The summer for NFL players also means getting ready for the rigors of camp.  We had many players in this summer return to get ready the best way that they know how....with Parisi.

Chris Simms and Luke Pettigout of Tampa Bay, Dunta Robinson of Houston, Vinny Ciurciu of Minnesota, Mark Anderson and Antonio Garay of Chicago, Mike Adams of Cleveland, Sean O'Hara of the Giants were some of the standouts that were in for all the weeks leading up to camp.  Below are some photos of a couple of the players in action showing the intensity it takes to get ready for big time ball.

Mark Anderson (most rookie sacks last season) and Luke Pettigout hit the lunges

Even Phil Simms got into the mix and showed us he still has what it takes to get ready with some barefoot calf raises!

Bill Parisi and Martin Rooney both presented over the weekend and shared a wealth of training and business knowledge.

This was an amazing 3rd year for the Parisi Team on tour, and we are looking forward to 2008.

Make sure next year to catch them at one of the events for sure.
