I know Ted for more than a year. First of all, we had lessons online which helped me a lot. The beginning of the match was the hardest thing for me, but Ted explained me plenty of combinations, how to make a good position which can lead you to the victory. I really respect him as a patient and reliable coach. Good luck!
