NAGA TOURNEY UPDATE

(Danbury, Connecticut...Dateline April 19, 2007)...Dr. David Copen, Danbury Hospital cardiologist, told Al Bruhn his Echo Heart test of April 17, 2007 and EKG of April 19, 2007 test are fine and confirmed fact that Al Bruhn has lost at least 70lbs. since his 2003 heart attack. Dr. Copen also said that Al Bruhn's heart is not damaged as a result of his 2003 heart attack due in part to his physical training with Max Rinaldi. In light of Al Bruhn's cardio/weightlifting martial arts training, Dr. Copen scheduled an exercising test at Danbury Hospital for April 26, 2007 due to Al Bruhn's intense physical training. The final test results will be announced at this website and ready for Project One book publication. Al Bruhn told Dr. Copen that he praises trainer Max Rinaldi, an intern with Dr. Christopher Mascetta in Ridgefield, for his latest positive medical test results.

(RIDGEFIELD, CT)...All is go for Mission NAGA. Intense cardio and weightlifting training at Ridgefield Recreation Wellness Center plus extra BJJ submission grappling sessions has enabled Al Bruhn to focus on his first major life challenge in the sports arena. With Western Connecticut Wrestling Team members and Mixed Martial Arts trainer Max Rinaldi, Al Bruhn is confident he will succeed at the NAGA event. Weight management has been a major focus during the past several months for Al Bruhn. "Making weight is a challenge," Bruhn said. "But, I attribute my weight to Max Rinaldi's daily conference calls," Bruhn said.

Al Bruhn weighed 245lbs. prior to his 2003 heart attack. On April 21, 2007, Al Bruhn expects to weigh-in at 159 for his NAGA division. "It's been a tough road for me," Al Bruhn remarked. "Again, if it wasn't for Max, Oliver, Matt and Joey, I couldn't achieve my life long goal," Bruhn explained. "I owe it all to these guys," Bruhn added.
