M.Sgt. Ronald Donvito, USMC (Ret.) began his study of the martial arts at age four and has earned black belts in judo, jujutsu and Shorinji Kempo. Based on his extensive martial arts experience, military training and detailed research into the vital points of the human anatomy, he developed the LINE program. This program was officially adopted by the Marine Corps in 1989, and Donvito was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his accomplishment. Donvito retired after 20 years of military service and now operates Honor Technologies, a training and consulting company that provides instruction in the LINE program and other combat-related skills to elite military and law enforcement units.
