Our group of engineers, university faculty, students, scientists, teachers, accountants, lawyers, electricians, medical professions, etc, began February by training in the Traditional Okinawan Martial Arts. Because of our grandmaster's affiliation with past universities (he taught martial arts for nearly 40 years at four different universities), we have a very interesting mix of professionals and academics.
