A very young Nazim Ali and a yet undiscovered Jean Claude Van Damme were made experts in Martial Arts after six years of training under Master Claude Goetz in Belgium (1978-1984). Sensei trained in Brussels with Master Damen (1978-1984). Sensei also trained in the U.S. with Shihan Jonas Nunez Jr. (1986-2000).
