Absolutely the best. Did you know he was the US Olympic Freestyle coach in Beijing?

In my 7 years with the IKWF and all the clubs and coaches and camps and clinics and schools I've been to, I've never seen anyone as good as Lee.

After training with coach Kemp this year, I have now seen my boys beat opponents that in the past they just hoped to survive against. And - it's not some fancy moves or marine drill-seargent type conditioning. It's solid technique, combined with the mental aspects of the sport. Lee told my boys at the beginning of the program that he's not going to teach them how to beat 12 year olds, but rather, he will teach them how to beat high school state champions.

Without a doubt, the best money I've ever spent on wrestling.

I think this is the best philosophy a coach can have and I preach the same thing myself. Why spend a lot of time on a side roll or a three quarter nelson when it only works on beginners. You might as well learn the technique that will work against anybody and not waste time with the rest.
