John Cole, an instructor at Sudbury MMA, said learning from someone with so much experience was a great opportunity for his students.
“He brings an unique cultural aspect to martial arts,” Cole said. “(Students had the) opportunity to experience not only martial arts, but a small piece of the culture. He brings traditional values and traditional exercises.”
With nearly six decades of experience, the 71-year-old ninth-degree black belt helped kids and adults alike learn new skills and hone their existing skills.
People came from as far away as Michigan to learn from the master.
