"I have known Shihan Diaz for more than 40 years. We worked as judges at many martial arts tournaments together. A more knowledgeable self-defense instructor than most. As a Marine, he brings real world experience to the traditional martial art of Hakkoryu."

"Shihan Tony Diaz is a true Grandmaster, and a wonderful human being. I would often be asked if I knew “Shihan Diaz.” I would always reply, “No, but I have always heard great things.” He is revered as a highly skilled Ju-Jitsu practitioner. So, it was clear to me after we finally met that THIS MAN IS A MARTIAL ARTS MASTER! I say this because he keeps it “Real!” and all without EGO. He is a high-class instructor that loves to teach and share his knowledge. He cares about the students and empowers them while educating them on all levels. His physical techniques are highly effective, and his mental insights help raise the level of understanding of the art. Shihan Diaz raises the spirit of the students due to his colorful background and exposure to other world class masters. Always respectful and courteous, he is a leader among leaders. He is a very powerful and insightful teacher. I for one enjoy his company and his friendship. I am honored to call this Warrior My Friend!"
