These young boys and girls were groomed and molded by Sensei Bracali. They were the elite of the elite of the academy. These young boys and girls, that people don't understand or seen behind closed doors the committment and the truth of their dedication. These boys and girls not only came to class for their cirriculm studies five days a week. Two days a week was demo team practice. Three nights a week was sparring (Full Contact and Kick Boxing), and preparing for their tournaments, Ameteur and Professional.  Before a demo team competition or a demonstation, they would practice everynight for two to three hours after class.  Three of these young men became Ameture World Champions. Breaking and fighting.  Four of them became state champions. They had their school work, other sports, and the chores at home. These childrens lives were not 50% dedicated. They were 1000% dedicated. Sensei Bracali pushed them so hard to be the best. These young men at 15 year old Blue Belts that took four years to earn.  And the true art of Kenpo and mixed with other Martial Arts including Muay-Thai. These young men fought adult black belt divisions and winning. The breakers, Silas, Yancy, and Dan K., break more bricks that most adults ( untampered bricks boughten from home garden). Two of them became world champions. Sensei Bracali instilled discipline, respect, honor, integrity, and perserverance. These children were no quitters. They walked to the edge of quitting, but knowing there is no return. Quitting is a pain that last an eternity. Sensei Bracali teaches the same curriculum in Kenpo that he learned that he passed on to his students. Adding more to his curriculum. Sensei Bracali doesn't believe in Black Belts under the age of 18. what he had done for his students is develope a junior black belt. When he turned eighteen they have to test for an adult black belt, which his 50% more curriculum that they have already learned. There is a lot of knowledge to learn from this academy. As Guy continued his learnings from his instructors, he would continue teaching his students. This demo team has been featured in Black Belt Magazine, several news papers, they've competed in Reno, Nevada and the  NBL Nationals. they had the privilege to meet 15 time World Kick Boxing Champion, Don The Dragon Wilson. That was close friends with Guy's trainer, Tony Satch Williams. The team uses the song Go For It from Rocky 5 along with Good Vibrations from Marky Mark. Go For It because Satch played on Rocky 5 that was their fingerprint to Satch. The team has competed in Carson City, Lake Tahoe, Modesto, they have been in parades, represented the D.A.R.E. Program all over Northern California, and was featured at a tournament held for a movie TC2000 held at the Oakland Collesium. In 1993, the demo team took their award money and sponsored a team member that made it to the NBL World Super Grands, held in New Orleans. So the young man can make his first debut as a Junior World Brick Breaking Champion. He proudly came home with a solid 24 karrat gold Championship Ring. Sensei Bracali has always taught them how to be a team. We are stronger as a team then we are as one. We have to be all in or all out. The team was all in for that decision. The longest running team member on the team and clearly gets MVP is Tyree. Tyree started with the team and finished it. One heck of an accomplishment, for a eight year old boy. Tyree went on and played professional Basketball, and now coaches. When he first went pro he called his Sensei and said, " Hey pops, Sensei I made the Pros, I owe it to you",  Sensei Guy Bracali cried and was very happy and proud. Sensei Bracali says, "If you can change one life, you've done your job." Sensei Bracali feels that he could of done a  lot more changing  for the youth in their town, until his ex-wife infedility took him down. This team was the pride of the Oroville Police Department and an inspiration to the whole town. The school was given to one of Sensei Bracali's Black Belts, Robert, and Guy moved on, with the deepest regrets every day.
