MAU 2009, A Huge Success

DePasquale Yoshitsune Traditional and Combat Ju-Jitsu Black Belts that attended.

2009 Martial Art University was a weekend of great training with instructors teaching various techniques to all those who came. From Shiatsu, Aikido, Grappling, traditional ju-jitsu, to standup karate and combat Ju-jitsu the instruction was excellent to all those who trained. Instructors like Joe Miller, Jesus Bonilla, Bill D’Urso, Joe Hess, Fred Burnier, Walt Lyzack, Pete Mills, Greg Ferry, Joe Diaco, Roger Roy, Brent Crisi, Ross Greenberg, and many others, took their place teaching throughout the weekend and did a fantastic job. MAU 2009 We would like to thank all those instructors mentioned and those not mentioned for their instruction and support of this great event. At the banquet as usual a tribute was in place for our founder Michael DePasquale Sr, and our close friend and IFOJJ rep. Joe Bonacci who will be missed greatly.
