Ethan Minor

Ethan Minor has been in the world of Martial Arts his whole life. As a second generation practitioner, training began as a child under the instruction of Great Grand Master U Maung Gyi, founder of the American Bando Association (ABA). His father's guidance produced an adolescence and young adulthood that was filled with competition in Lethwei, Muay Thai, and American Kickboxing tournaments around the globe.  He currently holds a 6th degree black belt in the ABA. His experience as a soldier in the Ohio Army National Guard and further training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Capoeira, Kali, and Krav Maga all led him to discover the Russian art of Systema. Over the last 8 years Ethan has dedicated his training to embodying the principles of Systema in an endless quest to know thyself, to love thy enemy, and to be at one with the battle/field.
