Martial Arts Seminar

Self defense skills go a long way when it comes to protecting you and your loved ones.

For this very reason, Orthopaedic Associates of Zanesville on Bell street hosted a seminar on self defense today. One teacher at the seminar is world renowned jiu jitsu fighter, Magno Gama.

"The importance of martial arts in my opinion, is mainly for discipline and self control. So a lot of people when they come to martial arts, they want to learn how to fight, but then as time passes by and they start learning, they start becoming a little more humble, and understanding that ‘you may know how to fight, but you don’t have to fight’. The smartest fighter solves the problem without having to throw a punch." ~Gama

Another part of the seminar is the shock-knife class taught by Doctor Brad ‘Karl’ Saunders. The masters taught many defensive skills today, but even they say that it’s a shared experience. Gama says both he, and his students learned life lessons during his martial arts classes.
