Diania Long
2nd Degree Black Belt

I started training with Master Mason in February of 1978 and trained with him until    
he retired in 1992. In the years that followed, I studied two forms of Tai Chi under two    
different professors, yoga, and tae-bo under Instructor Rick Stone (one of Master 
Mason's Black Belts) Over the years I have taught self-defense classes at Walters
State Community College and Rose Center; aerobic classes, exercise dasses at the 
Senior Citizen Center, and tae-bo. I have also had a great interest in shiatzu massage 
and accupressure. Although never formally trained, I have acquired several books.

I have owned Roseland Florist for 16 years, through which I have served on committees
for the Chamber of Commerce. I am a member of Morningside Baptist Church where I
am an Assistant Sunday Teacher for the Singles Class as well as involved in other church
activities.

I have learned many valuable life-lessons under Master Mason. I consider it an honor
to be his student, and I am truly excited to back training with him and Master Wilson.
It was a wish come true.
