Sensei Lee Gray Interview, Part 2
from NSEYET Hosted by Ray Hughes
Meet our next INSIGHT guest, Sensei Lee Gray, an 85-year-old martial artist whose journey began in Okinawa in 1960 while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. In Part 2, Sensei Gray shares his return to his hometown of Amarillo, Texas, after retiring from the Marine Corps. He became a prison guard in a psychiatric unit—an environment where practical, real-world martial arts skills were put to the test. The conversation then turns to karate itself, as Sensei Gray reflects on traditional karate and competition. You can hear in his voice the struggle of a lifelong traditional martial artist trying to reconcile the two.
