  1. Thanks to Gustavo and ACS for the excellent training in the week before the Pan Ams. Coming from SE Asia, it really helps to train with a world class team with such a range of talented training partners even if only for a week or two a year.

    Steve and Manny were great coaching me in the final of my division at the Pan Ams. I won my division (Purple/Senior 1/middle heavy) and came third in open weight.

    I look forward to visiting again next year. Thanks, Scott
