Title: Where do you train???
Post by: powerbomb on February 06, 2009, 06:31:14 AM

I was just wondering where everybody that trains here trains?
 I trained at Paragon in Santa Barbara, Ca and Cesar Gracie's gym in Pleasant Hill, Ca. They were both great places to train. Both of those places have ALOT of good experienced fighters/BJJ title holders to learn from. I work on ships and have been gone for a loooooong time so I haven't trained in a while. I sure as shit miss it though. After my next hitch I'm staying shoreside and can't wait to hit the mat again.

I own a minority share in an academy.  My insturtor is 2007 World No Gi champ, and a 2008 runner up.  We are a Gracie Humaita school.

Doesn't Saulo Ribiero run that academy? He's one of my favorite guys to watch roll of all time. He has some killer Judo throws.

You guys are gonna laugh me out of the forum but currently I'm training at Xtreme Couture and once in a while my old muay thai gym, Siam no.1

:)

I also want to go back and do some private boxing sessions, I used to train privately with a former Canadian Olympic boxer, taught me a lot in a very short time.

Yes, BIll and Jeff started there. Jeff trains in Vegas with Marc Laimon now but Bill is still there. Alot of great grapplers train with Franjihna. Tyrone Glover, Adam Benshea and Sean Apperson to name a few but Bill and Jeff are the stars out of that academy. Watch Jeff at about 1:16 of this video. amazing
