Notre Dame Martial Arts Institute


University of Notre Dame
South Bend, Indiana

"The need to defend one's life need not be by appointment, but may occur at any unorthodox time, therefore the forms and techniques of the martial arts are naturally endless."

Bill Curran

When I think of Billy Curran I remember the year we lived off campus together. There we were, first year blackbelts, first year instructors. Gary had graduated in May and Brian was busy in law school. Basically, we were on our own. Looking back I wonder how we made it. At the time we were having too much fun to worry, much. I remember many a night sitting around the kitchen table discussing the arts and the club. It was a great year--Billy even met his wife-to-be living in the apartment above us.
