Alex Caceres trained in kung-fu and karate?

[Cup of water]

So I was watching Bruce Leeroy's recemt loss, and twice does the commentary guy mention that Caceres has trained kung-fu and karate before starting MMA, is that really true?

I know he's obviously been inspired by karate and particularly kung-fu movies, but all I know about his experience prior to TUF is that he took part in street fights.

originally trained Jet Kun Do

 

[K1fan]

he is trained in jointjitsu

 

[Xhizors]

I don't think so

If you watch some of his fights prior to MMA he has a couple wins by submission which is unusual for those type of fights. It seems like he had technique's back then. Either self taught or schooled, who knows. Bruce Lee Roy knows. Lets tweet him.

edit - looks like Xhizors knows as well.

Technically if he was training both of those, one could consider that that IS training MMA?
