In this episode of TalkVisual305, Julio Guzman and Demmetrius Knowles sit down with Gamaliel “Chino” Duran, educator, wrestling coach, and founder of DBlueprint Combat Academy and Wrestling Club.

Chino shares his journey from immigrating to South Florida in the 1980s and growing up in Homestead to becoming a three-time GMAC Girls Wrestling Coach of the Year. He discusses how his experiences living at the South Dade Center of the Homestead Housing Authority helped shape his work ethic, leadership, and commitment to serving young people in the community.

We also discuss the growth of girls wrestling, the influence of legendary coach Victor Balmeceda, the challenges of building a combat-sports program, and the opportunities wrestling and MMA can create for the next generation.
