MARTIAL ARTS MAT Sensei Bobby Smith, chief instructor of the Traditional Academy of Martial Arts (TAMA), and his students had a real treat last week with thearrival of one of the world's top martial artists.
The occasion was a visit by renowned Jiu-Jitsu master professor, Robert Crosson, a ninth degree black belt and nine-time world champion.
A close friend of Smith, Crosson has worked with some of the world's top entertainers and athletes, including Michael Jackson, Eddie Murphy and Mike Tyson.
During his visit to Bermuda, Crosson introduced the students of Tama Dojo to his unique methods of self-defence which included numerous wrist locks, immobilisations and take-downs.
The style taught by Smith, Okinawan Goju-Ryu, also contains many wrist-locks and immobilisations so the students were able to take to the new techniques quite readily.
Crosson also took time out to give special lectures and demonstrations to the children's class with the aim of not only developing physical techniques, but also healthy eating habits, concentration, respect for elders and the ability to deal with other social issues.
Smith and his students took time out to express thanks for the visit by Crosson saying that the experience had been invaluable.
