What could a group of suburban housewives, a collection of Rock n Roll's most celebrated artists, a hardcore company of S.W.A.T. cops, and a tactical but deadly French Intervention Group possibly have in common? They are a part of an extremely versatile client list of one of the martial arts' world's most impressive fighters and trainers-Jean Carrillo.

Carrillo's story is one right out of the fiction books. As a stout-hearted and loyal marine he left the service to take his martial arts experience wherever it was needed most. Jean's wealth of knowledge extends from that service as a marine in 1987 with the French Special Forces and from working as a close combat Instructeur with the French Foreign Legion in Africa. Carrillo also spent time instructing a myriad of elite military and law enforcement forces in close combat. Jean is the founder of the Strike Combat System considered one of the best self-defense systems taught to regular law enforcement officers, S.W.A.T. members, and the Gendarmerie Nationale (French Police).

Before Carrillo would take his skills to the masses as a muay thai trainer and master coach he had to prove to himself that it worked. After years of competition fighting, Carrillo became the 1987 French and European Muay Thai Champion. Today he holds a 3rd degree Black Belt in Karate from the International Sport Karate Association, a 4th Degree Black Belt in Kick Boxing from the World Karate Association as well as belts in Tae Kwon Do and other disciplines. Jean has worked 'in the corner' for fighters including "Razor" Rob Mc Cullough, Manu Ntho, Niko Read, Philippe Baudron, fourtime Radjadamnern Champion Kongnapa, David Sannier, Noy Phisanoukane, and Lak Spakpasoon. Jean Carrillo is certified as a muay thai instructor by the French Muay Thai Federation as well as the French Kick Boxing Federation and French Full Contact Federation. Carrillo is also certified in Kick Boxing and as a Full Contact Trainer by the W.K.A. and I.S.K.A. organizations. The W.K.A. has also granted Jean certification as an International Trainer.

Carrillo has found his way into the music business, of sorts, as the official personal trainer for British rock band Def Leppard subsequently taking on lead guitarist Phil Collen as his special client. Jean has also toured with Journey, REO Speed Wagon, Styx, Foreigner, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Poison, and Cheap Trick. Although some of his clients are celebrities, MMA World Kick Boxing, and Muay Thai Champions many others are regular, everyday people looking to find their way to a fit and healthy life. Jean is a certified sports nutritionist with a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education (France Brevet d'etat Educateur Sportif 1er Degree) and uses all of his experience in fighting, training, nutrition, and coaching to assist his clients in reaching their goals. Carrillo has authored hundreds of articles on bodybuilding, fat loss, and fitness, all resulting in his latest 112 page ebook 'Yes, It Is All About Health'. He's now working in conjunction with Phil Collen creating a three tier workout and fitness regimen called 'Physcial Mechanics'. The dvd will be out soon.

Jean Carrillo currently lives in Huntington Beach, CA with his wife raising their son Jordan Lee.
