Biography
Shidoshi Grady joined Space Coast Championship Martial Arts in the fall of 2022, becoming one of the founding students of our brick-and-mortar school alongside his sister. From the beginning, he has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to the pursuit of self-perfection and a willingness to rise to every challenge placed before him.
As of August 2026, Shidoshi Grady holds the rank of Low Brown Belt in our Kenpo Jujutsu system. His strength, resolve, and commitment to giving his full effort during every training session serve as an inspiration to students both on and off the mats.
Shidoshi Grady continues to participate in advanced training sessions alongside Sensei Maison. These sessions focus not only on developing higher-level martial arts skills but also on understanding the foundational principles behind teaching, leadership, and the business of martial arts. His continued investment in these areas reflects his desire to grow into a knowledgeable and well-rounded instructor.
He approaches competition with the same mindset he brings to every belt-rank challenge: quiet determination, dedicated practice on and off the mats, and a willingness to learn from every experience. As a well-respected member of Team Space Coast, Shidoshi Grady also helps younger team members develop a stronger personal connection to the techniques and material they are learning.
Through his actions, Shidoshi Grady shows students that meaningful progress does not always need to be loud. It is built through consistency, humility, perseverance, and the decision to keep moving forward-even when the challenge is difficult.
Looking ahead to 2027, Shidoshi Grady’s goals include earning his black belt with Space Coast CMA and pursuing an additional opportunity to test alongside Sensei Maison and Shidoshi Troy during the CMA Black Belt Test.
Students can look forward to seeing Shidoshi Grady more frequently in belt-rank classes and having opportunities to continue their training through scheduled private lessons with him at Space Coast CMA.
