Welcome Coach Paul! I hope you find our Kajukenbo and MMA family as enthusiastic and eager to learn as I think they are. We have a great group of people here in our day and night classes, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything. As anyone who has been 'growing up' with me knows, grappling is my number one favorite part of Kajukenbo and I'm very excited to meet you! Again, welcome and Mahalo!
