GUERRILLA JIU-JITSU

I am Dave Camarillo, author of GUERRILLA JIUJITSU

About Me

I am one of the head MMA coaches at American Kickboxing Academy. I train world class fighters such as Mike Swick, Josh Koscheck, Josh Thomson, John Fitch, Paul Buentello and Trevor Prangley. These fighters compete in events like the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Pride and the new California event Strikeforce. I have transformed their ground game in such a way they have truly become Mixed Martial Artists! And their success speaks volumes....."Go to AKAKICKBOX.COM for more information on classes. Also DAVECAMARILLO.COM for info on GUERRILLA JIU-JITSU and CAMARILLO JIU-JITSU...How I started: I started training in Judo at the age of five and Jiu-Jitsu at 19. I have competed and won in both arts at the World Level...I have a black belt in each and am the only American Martial Artist to properly bridge the gap between Judo and Jiu-Jitsu. I have also created a philosophy that cuts out the negative politics that are found in Martial Arts. My system of GUERRILLA JIU-JITSU is a step forward in that progression.

My Interests

I am a Black Belt in Judo and Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu. I train and teach at American Kickboxing Academy. I am the head instructor for Camarillo Jiu-Jitsu. Besides Martial Arts I like to hang out with my Wife and relax while thinking of business…
