Sensei Swanner began his study under the late Sensei Berry Grizzard at the University
of Alabama Huntsville in the early 80's. UAH provided a wonderful cross road location for
the cooperative study with several different styles of martial arts over the years. Sensei
Swanner deeply appreciates the parent organizations that have both guided and trained him
over the years, such as Midori Yama Budokai, and most currently
Professional Combined Martial Arts (PCMA)
and the
American Budo Society
, without whose wonderful guidance and
imparting of knowledge his programs would not be possible.
