A decade and half after mastering martial arts in Japan, Shihan Dana Abbott returned to Scottsdale, Arizona and opening Samurai Sports, Inc. and the Samurai Sports Training Center to introduce Japanese swordsmanship to the martial arts industry. He offers a viable way to learn and instruct the Japanese sword to anyone who wishes to learn. Shihan Abbott invented and patented the ActionFlex combative sword, which is now commonly used throughout the world.
