E-mail Feedback

I recieved this nice e-mail from a person named Neil, would like to share this as it is positive and shows there are people who are willing to take the time to share with others.

I really like Mr Martins videos, hes a great teacher! Just wanted to know what ranks does he hold in what styles? He seems to have a vast array of knowledge, I was just curious what his background is. I love how he is so knowledgeable in competition and self defense. Theres so much criticism that you have to be one or the other, Im so glad he shows thats not true.
