**Sensei Greg** is the founder and owner of the Anime-Style Martial Arts Dojo.

## History

After his girlfriend dumped him, Greg watched anime for 168 hours straight and deciphered the key to accessing the awesome power of a person's "ki" by participating in difficult, overly complex, and fairly ridiculous activities that according to the laws of physics shouldn't yield such fantastic results, and yet somehow do. Greg founded the Anime-style Martial Arts Dojo based on those principles.

When Elliot brought Sarah to the dojo Greg asked him to do a demonstration match with Nanase.

When Elliot and Tedd went to the PTTAOLUTASF, Elliot asked Greg to guard Grace. At first he hid outside the house but when he sensed magic power from Grace playing with her transformation ability he was worried and broke though a door to enter. After Tedd and Elliot sent a message about Ellen, Greg and Grace went to Moperville North High School to tell Sarah. When they found Sarah and Ellen, Ellen was fighting the Goo. Greg participated in the fight himself.

When Elliot invited Nanase and Justin to Grace's birthday party, Greg overheard Nanase mention that Elliot can transform into a girl and dumped a bucket of water on him to see if it would cause him to transform like in *Ramna ½*. Then he told them that he offered to teach Grace to defend herself without seriously injuring her opponent.

Later he decided to close down his Dojo because the danger of giving people magical powers was too great and the only students left were Justin, Nanase, and Elliot. He was hired by another dojo and offered to teach Justin, Elliot and Nanase there and repeated his offer to Grace.

Grace accepted his offer a few days later. On what would have been Grace's first lesson and one of the last lessons at the old dojo, a fire monster was summoned at the dojo by Dex. After Grace and Elliot entered the dojo, Dex summoned more fire monsters to hold Greg and Grace and a dragonlike monster to hold Elliot. After the dragon left with Elliot Greg easily defeated the fire monsters. When he confronted Dex he found that Dex was surrounded by a barrier of fire and that he was under the influence of magical mid control. Therefore, he stopped Grace from attacking Dex. As Grace's combat form is fireproof Greg taught her the sleeper hold. After Grace knocked out Dex, and Dex woke up Greg offered to hang out with Dex once in a while. As Dex shares his liking of the Lucky Bunny Bounty Show, Greg expected to get along well with Dex.

After that Grace and Ellen trained with Greg. Before Christmas they sparred using Ellen's transformation beam and Grace's energy shield. When Grace was struck by Ellen's FV5 beam Greg was embarrassed by the result.

After Elliot decided that he needed to learn to fight while flying, he talked to Greg about sparring while flying.

## Abilities

Greg knows a sleeper hold technique to knock an opponent unconscious, which he taught to Grace during the battle with the flame summons using the flame summons as practice dummies. He has also demonstrated that he can use his ki as a force field.

Along with spells enhancing his fighting abilities and mentioned force field, he can sense (magic) power.

## Relationships

### Dex

After the incident with the flame summons, he offered to hang out with Dex sometime. Surprisingly, they had a lot in common—including liking the Lucky Bunny Bounty Show.

They have probably regular game nights, which may or may not include other people.

### Grace

Greg offered to train Grace, repeated that offer after closing ASMA dojo, and when Grace finally accepted, he actually started to train her, and continued even after closing his dojo (it wasn't specified where, although the new dojo is an obvious option). We saw Ellen helping with that training, but don't know who else might be attending those private lessons.

### Not-yet-specified girlfriend

Greg has a girlfriend. They met on New Year's Eve.
