Master Dionne was an inspiration to everyone. He was both feared and loved by all. His martial arts skill was second to no one and his kindness, unwavering devotion, loyalty and funny wit made truly unique man. Below are some clips of him instructing or demonstrating.

The interesting thing occurred to me as I viewed countless hours of video tape was that Master Dionne was making improvements to his art and skill right up to his untimely death. In fact I would boldly say he made vast improvements on his technique in the last five years. This is a huge lesson for martial artists who like to sit back on their laurels and assume they are experts. Master Dionne continually studied the process of Ju-Jitsu, I can only imagine what might have been if he had not been taken from us.

Enjoy the clips below.
