The Story Of The Martial Artist:Part one

I am a student at the University at Buffalo, and created this piece for my documentary project. I have been involved in the martial arts for most of my life, and wanted to create a documentary style film that looks at what the martial arts are to diverse group of practitioners, and to hear their own stories on how the martial arts have truly impacted their lives. This is a look at the martial arts from the perspective of three practitioners. All three practitioners I have interacted with differently throughout the duration of my martial arts career. The first is my personal student, Dr. Ali Ertugrul, a Turkish man from Istanbul that I introduced to the martial arts. The second is my life long instructor, Grand Master Tim Hartman, the person that attracted me to the martial arts originally. The third and last subject has been my training partner for some time, Sensei Todd Costanza.
