NCMA HEIBI KOSHO SEMINAR

(SNAKE BITE)

I could not be more excited to present a one-hour seminar at our upcoming NCMA meeting at the Doubletree Hotel on June 13, 2026. My seminar is designed to introduce you to a new zone related attack response we have been working on for over three years. How this differs from my journey in Goju Ryu is that our response in each of the zones is executed while we are under attack, not when it is our turn. The outcome, you will take out their throat, break their arm, crack some ribs and blow out a knee in 5 seconds. It’s easy, fun and extremely dangerous!
