U.S. Army Sgt 1st Class Emerson Hazzard Jr., a Master Resiliency Trainer at 32nd Air and Missile Defense Command, Fort Bliss, Texas, and Columbia, S.C., native, teaches boxing and mixed martial arts to students of what he calls a temple, because students do not pay fees; rather they make donations toward team uniforms, gym fees and road trips to matches. Hazzard learned his fighting style that he calls "mongoose style" from a combination of other styles, some of which were taught to him by his father, Hazzard Sr., who in turn, learned them from the Republic of Korea soldiers while serving in the Air Force during the Vietnam War.
