Having trained with Papa-san Shihan Martin (briefly) at the Washington Tai Kai in 2001, I can not only say he is an amazing martial artist, he's an amazingly kind individual. I still own a cane I got from him aswell. :)
Papa San is such a great teacher. I met him yesterday and I was so inspired by the things he shared with me. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with him and have him show me some techniques. I wish that our art was more widely spread out. Papa San, you are so right : the world would be a safer to place if people would learn ninpo and become their own protectors. We would have nothing to fear if we had the courage and skill to defend ourselves and those around us.
I had the pleasure of meeting Papa san in Japan , hes got amazing viscios movoes and is ofcourse as everyone here says a very freindly knowledgeable guy. He also designs his own knuckle dusters which are amazing.
Ed is not only a very capable martial artist, his is also a wise and wonderful teacher. He shares his knowledge with people all over the world. It has been my honor to have trained with him and call him not only 'teacher' but 'friend'! --- Tiny
i saw ed martin in a hatsumi class not long ago, he still moves well , i didnt realise his age!!! well done ed , always the gentle-man,LOL. a very good example of no ego, caring bujinkan shidoshi
the essence is strong in this one .....hahahahaha
Ed you look great! You did a great job on the show and I am glad someone taped this! I love the way the hosts really hammed up the "Ninja Ed" business, kept the teasers going well all morning
