"I had practiced some martial arts before, in which we repeated kata like monkeys and had to submit to an authority imposed of a master or sensei, where there was no room for questioning. It discouraged me a lot, to the point of giving up. And deep down I knew it would be of little use as self-defense. But when I met Samir's research and his bunkai methodology I felt reborn in me the fascination with martial arts, kata and self-defense! So inevitably I became his student and I feel very honored to render my services as a graphic designer, including in the development of this site." (Graphics designer, vegan chef and Muidokan student)
