Phillip Palmejar: Fighter
Brad Hirawaka (left), Phillip Palmejar (center), and myself at the San Diego Grand Nationals, after Phillip’s impressive first place finish in the grappling competition. Brad and I went as coaches, and were both very happy to see our teammate tear it up. Although still a white belt under Mr. Harris, and being the lightest competitor in his division, Phillip tapped all 3 of his opponents. Harris International Brown Belt, UFC veteran, and North County Fight Club fighter Jason Lambert won the heavyweight division.
Fighter, artist, musician, highly educated man… budo. It is an honor to train with Phillip.

I have the pleasure of training w/ Phlilip on a regular basis. He is one tough cat, and a great human being. If you see in the above photo who is surrounded by, you can understand why.
I am fortunate to have these three guys as friends, coaches, mentors, and training partners…

Al is as much (or more) our mentor as we are his!
