A local memorial was conducted last month commemorating the legacy of Sensei Marvin Gatling, who returned to the essence on January 31.
Upon returning to Harlem several years later he continued practicing Jiu-Jitsu, eventually earning a 10th degree Black Belt, and was well known for sharing his technique with others so that they could acquire self-discipline and also properly protect themselves in spontaneous battles. “My apparatus will enhance whatever you’re doing,” says Grandmaster Gatling, a.k.a.
