We always have guest instructors from other KRMAS academies come to gradings but I consider myself lucky that it was him who came to our grading yesterday. As well as being the Australian National Sanda coach he also owns the Lithgow academy where I will be grading at the end of the year. Got to go to dinner with him and my sensei and he gave me some valuable insight to the path to black belt and the journey afterwards.
very cool dude
