Coached by Gracie Black Belt, and league founder, Fire Captain Ken Gabrielson - TEAM OCFA first came into the league with a smashing over the Los Angeles Police Centurions (LAPD) February 2008! Though often outmanned and outgunned by bigger agencies, TEAM OCFA often comes out victorious thanks to a balanced grappling line-up (led by Pete Melgoza and Brett Russell) and the coaching wisdom of Ken Gabrielson. In forthcoming months, watch for TEAM OCFA to be even stronger with the return of Brown Belt Chris Haime from injured status.
