Sensei Chris Marquez traveled to Germany on September 7th  from the Jacksonville Hombu at the request of Professor Sanchez to conduct seminars there on September 9th and 10th for the San-Jitsu Ryu Federation of Germany. The seminars which covered techniques against empty hand attacks as well as weapons were well received according to our Germany representatives, Senseis Thorsten Isringhausen, Jorg Aderhold & Heinz Schedereiter who also received promotions in proxy from Grandmaster Sanchez during the seminars. In return, Grandmaster Sanchez was presented with awards from the Martial Arts Association – International in conjunction with the San-Jitsu Ryu Federation of Germany at a special presentation on September 14th at the Jacksonville Hombu . The awards  given in acknowledgement of Grandmaster Sanchez’s 47 years in the arts were awarded in proxy by Sensei Marquez.

   In the media this time around……SAN-JITSU was featured in the September/ October issue of BUDO INTERNATIONAL Magazine with a piece outlining the creation of PROFESSOR SANCHEZ’s system on Guam, a U.S. Pacific Territory in the Western Pacific in 1971. The piece was written by Sensei Jon Haupt of the Jacksonville Hombu.

A half page ad also appears in the December 2006 issue of BLACK  BELT Magazine on page 30 regarding PROFESSOR SANCHEZ’s world renowned organization of the WORLD HEAD OF FAMILY SOKESHIP COUNCIL. The ad placed by the PROFESSOR’s Communications Manager for the WHFSC, Soke Daniel Verkerke of Canada highlights the Council’s 14th year of existence as the largest & most  elite of the martial arts grandmasters/ masters councils in existence today.
