Naomi began her martial arts journey after marrying Master William Mason.
She trained with her husband for over eight years, earning her black belt in
Shorin-Ryu. During this time, like Master Mason, she trained with Master
Johnny McCurry, Master Moses Powell and Professor Visitacion. After a
lengthy hiatus, Naomi has returned to the world of martial arts to again
train with her husband and Master Garfield Wilson of the Karate Five in Modern
Arnis. She believes Modern Arnis to be “just right” for her as a
mature female and looks forward to the time when she can pass her newly
gained knowledge of self-defense to other women.
