Woof All:

I am delighted to announce a DBMA Training Camp dedicated to our "Kali Tudo" (tm) subsystem to be held in the very agreeable South Bay area of Los Angeles (about 9 miles south of LAX Airport).

For those of you who live in colder climes allow me to offer for your consideration that there are worse things to do on a February weekend than to go to the beach and watch the girls roller skate after a day of training. :-)

Joining me in the teaching will be world class MMA Wrestling coach Kenny Johnson. I know Kenny via Rigan Machado. Kenny was the MMA Wrestling Coach on Team Noguiera on TUF. He coaches Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Lyoto Machida and others of that ilk.

We got to know each other when I asked him for a lesson to help me with certain wrestling based questions I had:

a) a wrestling hold we use in DBMA that we call "the Rico" because I learned it from Rico Chiaparelli during my days at the RAW Gym; and
b) my terrible underhooks.

Kenny was very intrigued by what I was doing and we began light sparring and exchanging knowledge. This has continued. A month or so ago he came by my Monday Kali Tudo class and we taught together. (The class was video-ed and may well appear in a DBMA Vid-lesson and/or the upcoming DBMA DVD: "Kali Tudo 3")

The Adventure continues!
