Bio
My name is Bobby Cantu. I am Retired Army Veteran. I am a black belt under Professor Frank Rodriguez at Parabellum Martial Arts and Strength in Waynesville, MO. I started training in 2013 through the Army Combative Program to help decompress from multiple deployments. I’ve trained under different instructors and locations but due to rapid moving life style was not able to commit. I have been able to consistently train since 2019 at Parabellum MAS. I’ve competed in multiple Army Combative Tournaments and Local BJJ Tournaments.
