He is currently the team chiropractor for fighters at each of the above centers, as well as other centers in San Diego.  This includes the trainers and fighters at Victory MMA.  Fighters here include Dean "the boogy man" Lister, Greg McIntire, Jeremy Stevens and many more. Other fighters he has worked with include big name fighter,and very popular Brandon "the truth" Vera.

  Chiropractic Care is For Athletes of all levels!

The performance of the body during athletics is more dependent on the spine than any other part of the skeletal system. While throwing, punching, jumping, running, swimming or kicking, for example, the arms or legs utilize the spine as their base. Muscle contraction and flexibility and joint mobility are essential for optimum performance. Spinal integrity is necessary for this to happen properly.

The mechanical problems of the spine are very common at all ages.  Injuries and problems with performance that athletes of all ages experience may be directly related to poor spinal function.  Chiropractic helps resolve these issues.

Most elite athletes use chiropractic care to optimize performance and to maximize injury recovery.  It is safe to say that most, if not all professional sports teams have their own personal chiropractors for exactly these reasons.

             

 


 

Dr. Leone is a life long martial artist and is setting up this additional page for interesting articles about brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts training etc. The above picture is taken from a seminar/promotion  in which Fabio Santos was presented with a red belt.  This is very rare in the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world. Also above is a very rare look at most of the "original crew" from the academy.

This picture taken in Kenpo garb with Dr. Leone's Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor, professor Fabio Santos and at the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy in San Diego. Together, Grand Master Mick and Grand Master Fabio have about 80 years of combined martial arts experience.  WOAH!!

Forth picture is Dean Lister and Dr. M.  Dean still has a very good career ahead of him. He continues to contract for new fight venues and should be defended his world absolute submission grappling title again very soon.  Dean, along with Dr. Muscle, endorse a fantastic product for all, but especially contact athletes.  The product is from Sierra Life Sciences called Alph-Flex.
