The gentleman behind Kobe is Bruce Leamer. Bruce has been at our school since the early 80`s. He is a former Navy Seal, a formerly ranked 6th in the World PKA fighter, a retired Santa Ana police officer [26 years], and fought on many of our championship teams. His full time job is being Kobe`s bodyguard. He spent the summer with Kobe Bryant at the Summer Olympics in China. At 6`4" 245lbs. he is fully capable of doing this line of work. He still trains like a martial artist is suppose to train. At 50 years old he sets a great example of keeping his skills sharp through continued effort.
Respectfully,
Bob White
