JJ Warrior was an idea that started with a photo session of co-founder Bill Kelly’s sons,
Joshua and Caleb at the A-Team dojo in Westminster, CA. I mention Joshua first, he is often over-shadowed by his big brother. This time he is the one on top.

I was impressed with how all the kid’s knew the technical terms and worked with each other like adults. Personally, I studied Japanese Goju-Ryu karate. My dojo experience is much different. Japanese karate and Brazilian Ju-Jitzu are as different as golf and baseball. The vibe is less rigid yet the learning does involve discipline.

Now a few months later, Caleb recently won a big tournament. Here's a shot that I took that day. You will notice the artistic link.
