Michael Cody is a full-time graphics artist and active worship-leader within his church. Being active in martial arts since the age of 8, Michael always felt that there was something more to the martial world. It was later that he discovered Budo Ninpo Taijutsu, as taught by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi.
It was then that he started training and absorbing as much as possible on the art and changing his life for the better. Michael trains regularly under Craig Carroll and Chris Bevins of Morristown, and Bobby Eaton II of Blountville.
After given permission to head a local study group to prepare for his future training, Michael has set a goal to try to use the teachings and principles from this art as a means to make a positive impact within his Community, one student at a time.
"I believe that we are all part of a 'Big Ship' and over the years, we have drifted further and further from the path we were meant to be reaching. Here, we are trying to touch the hearts of those few who decide to train, to try to turn that ship and get back into the direction we were supposed to be."
