Well ya gotta figure if Me, Kelly and Kevin are bowing to him he’s a somebody LOL

That’s Brent Ambrose – President of California Association of Force Instructors, and so many other things I should start a new post.

In 2007 Mr Ambrose received his 20th Black Belt and although he has been a student of Darrens since the Imi days and pioneered bringing Krav Maga to Law Enforcement Mr Ambrose has never taken a Krav Maga belt test. He sets the standard for the KM Force Training Division.

Kevin, Kelly and I count him as one of our mentors.

As a side note, over 15 years ago while hanging out in a bar he asked me to come to Heschel Day School and try Krav Maga and I answered “why would I want to take Jewish karate?” a decision I’ve regretted ever since.

Thanks Sean. I kick myself over krav all the time. Oh well, wasn’t to be, but I figure I helped promote it in a small way

Speaking of legendary:

I think it would have been so apropos if Kevin had held his crystal ball right next to Sean’s and then had them both brass plated… :D:

quote CJs Dad:

I appreciate the kind words but really I just carry the bags of those who walk before me.

I like being in the background

Iíve had the privilege of training with many of you and always try and walk away from the experience feeling like I learned something.

Although there are those days when Iím fortunate enough to stand in front of the class I still just suit up and show up ready to learn.

Thank you guys for the opportunity to train together.

Oh yes, I remember that time I taught you when there is a guy just standing in front of you, you can kick him in the head.

Congrats. It feels a little better now in retrospect to have been kicked in the head by a Living Legend.

I guess the getting cracked in the nuts by the “Outstanding Achievement in Martial Arts” wasn’t bad either.

I can’t wait for classs tonight.
