Some comments...
"For the past 27 years I have trained with some of the best martial artists in the world, attended hundreds of tournaments and more seminars than I can remember. Frankly, I thought I had seen it all! Then, in September of 2006 I had the opportunity to attend a seminar in New Orleans featuring Grandmaster Nakamoto. Concepts that I had been studying for years were finally connected! I gained powerful tools that supercharged my martial arts training!"
