Anti-grappling protesters demonstrated by picketing outside a well-known Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy last month. They were demanding a full dismount of ground fighters from North America by 2006. Since the Brazilian-led invasion, almost 250,000,000 have been tapped in the U.S. alone.

We regret to report the passing of the infamous and respected Martial Arts Master Stehp'on Mei. Master Mei was responsible for spreading his Art to the U.S.; a unique style of fighting with a path based upon notions of polishing the Budo spirit thru harmony and solidarity of it’s practitioners.
Following a dispute one week after his death, his four top 5th Dan students each named their own style and opened separate dojos, all promoted themselves independently to 10th Dan –Hanshi, and each claims to be the sole holder of the true unbroken lineage of the late Master Mei. All requests for comment from them were declined.
