Training with Rob Kaman

What's better than training with Rob Kaman?

"Having my brothers there to train with as well!"



























During the week where I trained with Rob Kaman, the rest of my family were also in LA.

It was nice to finally see all of them and reunite under the California sun.



























Although their stay was brief I got them training with some of the people I've been telling you about.



























Rob just opened a new gym along side Rigan Machado and we were actually the first group of guys to do a class in it.

Pretty cool huh?

Rob's private training with us mirrored alot of the Fang Shen Do philosophy and what we teach in our adult sparring/sanshou classes.




























Aggressive. Nothing fancy. To the point. Efficient.

Sprinkled with alot of humour.

He found it interesting to hear about the Patenaude story and how our whole family trains together in martial arts.

With over 100 fights, the biggest feet I've ever seen on a man (which could easily kick through a wall) and currently training BJ Penn on his stand up game, Rob's tips on how to demolish your opponent and the kind of preparation that goes into getting ready for a competition were priceless.

Collectively, one of our favourite classes to date because of the similarities with FSD and a chance to train together after so long might be rivaled by another trainer we'll be working with next.

Stay Tuned,

Master Yourself,
