Shihan Roy J. Hobbs

 A Full Colonel in the United States Air Force, Shihan Hobbs has traveled the world studying martial arts with various instructors for more than four decades. Much of his time was spent in Okinawa where he extensively studied Shorinyu, Gojuryu, and various schools of Kobudo.  In Japan he studied Hakkoryu Jujitsu and in China he trained in White Crane and other schools of kungfu.  Highly graded in all of these arts, Hanshi Hobbs is regarded as one of the more knowledgeable Master Instructors in the western world today.
