We are joined by Ward Melenich of the American Judo and Jujitsu Federation and Co-Sensei of the Kuroinukan in Duluth, MN.

Professor Ward Melenich

Welcome to Danzan Ryu Origin Stories. In movies, television, books, especially comic books, we often get to learn the character's backstory to find out why they are the way they are - like how a superhero got their superpower. Knowing their "origin story" is important so we can understand their role in the story. Learning about how our DZR Sensei started training - their "origin stories" - helps us to document this part of our oral history and provides some insight and inspiration about training in the martial arts. 

Hosted by Professor Hillary Kaplowitz, Sensei of Pacific JuJitsu Kai.
