Sensei Jadi Tention
Sensei Jadi Tention – Currently Six Time World Champion and the best kept secret in today’s Martial Arts. Mr. Tention was born December 2, 1973 in Coney Island Hospital Brooklyn, New York. He was a favorite baby in the nursery and when brought to his mother, wrapped tight in his blue receiving blanket hands placed over the top fold, he was announced as the “baby with the working hands”. How prophetic a description, for little did anyone know that those hands and awesome legs would take Jadi on an awesome journey in Martial Arts.

Jadi found that he had natural abilities, a sharp eye for details siamesed with the mental and physical toughest to see things through. He learned that just doing a thing was not mastering. In order to be the best you needed to understand the who, what, when, why and how of an action. This is the fabric that has allowed Jadi Tention to be the awesome, powerful, commander, motivational teacher and compelling champion he is today. He believes that winning silver is to lose gold. He also knows, that a champion is a champion because he never quits and continues to sharpen his skills always in the pursuit of perfection.
