This page is in memory of  16 year old Black Belt Brandon Ferris.

I took the photos below  in May of 2001 and only briefly meeting him.  Learning later in July of 2001  he took his own life.  The following paragraph and web site info is from his Mom.  Sharing this info with and your friends may save someone you love!

 There is information all over the web  that the pharmaceutical companies do not share with the public or with the doctors that prescribe  medicines.  It is pretty scary that the doctors seem to be in the dark about what these drugs can do just as the public is unaware.  Be informed!  I lost my son due to one of these medications, I wish someone would have handed me this note.  My goal is to hopefully save others from the horror that our family is going through.   Please do your own research.  NOTE: You need to cross reference violence or suicide with the drug name to get more info from additional web sites.  Barbara Avery   in Fredericksburg, Va.

Dear Mr. Spencer,

My name is GT and I currently train with GM Seong here in
Fredericksburg, VA. Unfortunately, I have some more sad news to pass on
to you. Brandon Ferris's mother, Barbara Avery, passed away on Saturday,
January 5, 2002, a day after Brandon's birthday. She was is so much
grief after losing her son.

Thank you for helping Mrs. Avery with the memorial that you set up on
your website. It really meant a lot to her and the family.

Sincerely,

GT
