He presently is a certified student under Bruce Lombard in Combat Submission Wrestling, the MMA system created by pioneer, fighter, champion, and coach, Erik Paulson. Os also studies Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Thai Boxing. He has competed and was victorious in his debut as a Thai boxer last fall.

As a coach, Os was hired as an assistant coach of the University of Lock Haven. In his second year of coaching, Lock Haven won the team National Championship. He later started coaching at a local fitness club he trained over 20 students. He served as an assistant coach for the Penn State University Boxing Team for the last two years and will continue in that capacity in the coming season.

Along with his impressive martial arts/boxing participant and coaching resume, Os has been involved with the a before and after school child development and family counseling program in area elementary schools.
