AMERICAN KICKBOXING ACADEMY |
|
I usually stay in San Jose and lucky for me my in-laws are just 15 minutes away from American Kickboxing Academy which is home to Dave Camarillo and his
Guerilla Jiu Jitsu. On this night, just before Christmas the class was taught by Claudio Franca black-belt, Paul Schreiner. I had met and heard of Paul through several friends but this was the first time I'd learn from him directly. Often referred to as 'El Technico', Paul has an insane wealth of jiu-jitsu/grappling knowledge and has trained with a 'who's who' of jiu-jitsu. Paul splits his time between Kaijin and AKA. Coming in I thought my base and sense of balance would protect me as it does quite often from sweeps. Not just for being a heavy guy but all those years as a swimmer (I was much lighter then, haha) I credit to my sensitivity of weight distribution. Well, Paul took that notion away from me and get me rethinking about how I use my hips and legs when playing both the bottom and top game.
