Mind Raid with The Koch Brothers

Brothers Keoni and Erik Koch offer a unique perspective after a lifetime in the martial arts and professional fighting.

High school drop outs, my brother and I charted our own course for success in one of the most backwards ways possible.

Becoming self taught professional fighters.

From a half matted basement in my house to a 10,000 square foot church like facility. We have chosen the path of most resistance, and been offered a perspective of the highest rewards.
