Origin of A Modern Style
The year under each style marks the year Grandmaster Joe Martin began studying that style.
First Column Above Grandmaster Joe Martin had no contact with this column of teachers. Li Kum San had the most influence on Alfredo Sui.
|
Second Column Above There was extensive training with all of these with the exception of Master Hobbs.
Grandmaster Martin trained mostly with Jerry Hobbs' stepfather. Grandmaster Martin has
visited Master Alfredo Sui in Canada several times over the years. Master John Stover and
Grandmaster Martin have an on-going relationship as friends and martial artists. |
Third Column Above John Farris had a large impact on Grandmaster Martin's training as his friend and
teacher. After returning from the armed service and recognizing the newly acquired
knowledge of Grandmaster Martin, Mr. Farris became a student of Grandmaster Martin. |
Fourth Column Above Grandmaster Joe Martin began formulating the principles of Esoma in 1975. The stance form developed that year is still used in all schools
today. The fundamentals can be found in the Esoma Philosophy Papers.
