My head is spinning. I just got back from 7 days in Los Angeles, attending an Indonesian Silat training camp taugh by no other than Dan Inosanto. I also got to train with Erik Paulson and Vladimir Matsushenko and learned lots of great material, both on the ground and standing. As if this wasn’t enough, tonight I attended a 4 hour Carlson Gracie seminar. Talk about information overload!

The reason I bring this up is to make a point: take advantage of training oportunities when you have the chance. If you are travelling and end up near a jiu-jitsu academy pay the drop-in fee and see how they do things.

I’m not in Los Angeles very often, so when I do get there I try to make the most of it

This all ties in

Some instructors will take offense at you doing this, but it is really a shame

Contact information for the 3 places I trained at is as follows:
