Seminars with Grand Master Ed McGrath
"All seminars are interactive and based upon self-defense developed
from Isshin-ryu "The Art," created from seven years of teaching
active duty Marines." They are both extremely useful, while
simultaneously enjoyable. The moves are easily learned and take you
out of the line of attack. |

US Marine Raiders official web site
"As a veteran of WW II Carlson's 2nd Marine Raider battalion I am a strong advocate of the Martial Arts as presented in this most handsome and complete web site. The capability of self protection in hand to hand combat in military special forces is the ultimate insurance for survival to fight another day. Sensei Ed McGrath's status as a major educator in the Martial Arts should be honored and recognized by all." - Ervin Kaplin, MD
It is an honor for a WW II Marine Raider to remark on our
site, in such a manner, as this warrior has. Ed McGrath, Grand Master,
Isshin-Ryu.
"World War II Marine Raiders are honored by the Martial Arts Center of Excellence at the Quantico Virginia Marine Base being named Raider Hall. On its opening the center was dedicated by Charles Meacham, President of the United States Marine Raider Association. The Martial Arts Center will employ the training methodology exemplified by that of Marine Corps veteran Grand Master Ed McGrath." - Ervin Kaplin, MD
