On Saturday Mr. LaCava will be teaching sections from his seminar series,
"Power from the Center," which will focus on applying joint locks without the
dependence of superior arm strength, fakes or strikes when dealing with a
stronger opponent. These techniques will emphasize full body connection and connection the manipulation of the opponent’s center of gravity.
