Excellent Day with the Masters! 

At this year’s Day with the Master’s, there were four different seminars that included agility drills, sparring drills, attacking and counter attacking drills, and Bo versus Sai attack and counter drills. Last but not least was the icing on the cake: Master Isham Latimer performing Chi-Ryu Jujitsu with Master instructors John Costanzo and John McDonald! Assisting was Harold Townsend and Joshua Poventud.

Master Latimer’s seminar was very well-received. There was very enthusiastic applause and many commented on how much they enjoyed Master Latimer’s presentation and how impressed they were with the effectiveness of Chi-Ryu Jujitsu. 

Great job everyone!
