Master Grant The Student
Master Grant recently traveled to Lake Erie to bring Master Larry Roiz to Northeast, PA. The focus of Master Roiz's stay was to teach Master Grant a kata called Mukashi No Kin Ryu or "The Ancient Golden Dragon." Master Grant spent at least two hours a day between Tuesday and Saturday learning the kata. While in town Master Roiz conducted seminars at Grant's Marial Arts on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon and also traveled to Williamsport to conduct a seminar at Master Warren's School. All seminars were focused on self-defesne. Footage from the classes will be available as part of the Online Curriculum, coming soon.
