While he still looks 55 today, Master Bing Grandeza is actually, very much retired as sports director of the University of the Immaculate Conception . In other words, he has been a senior citizen of the City of Davao for a number of years.
But, I think it was only in the early 2000’s, that me and a few sportswriters started working closely with him because of the annual Private Schools Athletic Association city, regional and national competitions. I would like to mention that there were also three sports directors who thought of us at that time, that we should be part of the sports delegation. William “Butch” Ramirez of Ateneo de Davao University, Joaquin “Boy” Sarabia of the University of Mindanao and Edgardo “Bing” Grandeza of UIC.If not for the three sports directors, a Davao sportswriter would have never been part of the Southern Mindanao delegation to the yearly PRISAA National Championships.
But I am here to honor the 55 years of devotion of Master Bing as a teacher of Moo Duk Kwan-Tang Soo Do.I did not ask the number of students they have throughout those years but you will have a basic idea that the once young Dabawenyos and Dabawenyas, who are now in their senior years, have gone through training under the Grandeza family of martial artists.
