Marcelo Garcia: ”Garth and Paul are not only good friends of mine but also highly qualified instructors. I highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by their school and learn from two great people. They always take good care of their students. Train Hard!”
Dave Camarillo: “I call Garth the nicest guy in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He is also one of the most experienced instructors around. Paul is one of the best instructors in the world. He has trained with the best and it shows. I consider him to be one of my teachers. If your goal is to have fun while learning BJJ look no further than Kaijin MMA!”
Ryan Hall: ”Paul Schreiner and Garth Taylor are two of the best instructors I’ve ever come across. The unique perspective that Garth and Paul possess can only come from being top-level competitors and training with many of the world’s finest BJJ players, and between the two of them they are literally an encyclopedia of Jiu-Jitsu technique. I feel fortunate to be their friend and have benefited greatly from having the opportunity to train with and learn from them. If I lived in Santa Cruz, I’d be a student at Kaijin.”
Mike Vann: “I have trained BJJ for over a decade, primarily under the supervision of Garth Taylor. His instruction, coaching, and mentorship have been essential for my growth as a BJJ practitioner, my first places finishes at several US Open and Pan-American tournaments, and my recent achievement of the rank of black belt. Behind Garth’s humble and often comedic persona lies a serious teacher with a wealth of BJJ knowledge. When he teaches class, his instruction is clear and accessible and his techniques are extremely practical. At tournaments his coaching is impeccable. From the sidelines his clear and relatively simple instructions have helped me work through the stress of competition and achieve victory. I have observed his kids classes over the years and Garth has a very charismatic personality that makes the classes fun but orderly. The kids adore him. I can not recommend Garth strongly enough. After having trained at numerous schools in the US, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, I believe Garth to be one of the best instructors with which I have studied.”
Jon Fitch: ”Paul is an encyclopedia of BJJ technique. Almost every time we train he shows me something new that I can use either in my Gi game or my fight game. He is able to explain technique in a way that is easy for anyone to understand no matter what level they are at, be it world champion or white belt.”
Luke Stewart: ”These guys are incredible instructors as well as cool people. Paul has an enormous knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, and has taught me a lot.”
