Dr. Mosig is a Zen Buddhist monk (trained under Zen Master Dainin Katagiri) and an 8th Degree Black Belt in Okinawan Karate and Kobudo (weaponry) with over 50 years of training in the martial arts (winner of five world championship titles at the U.S.K.A. World Championships/Grand Nationals: Black Belt Kumite, Heavyweight Division, in 1969 & 1970; Masters Kata, in 1980 & 1988; Black Belt Weapons, in 1989).

He is currently conducting research on the Punic Wars and the life and personality of Hannibal Barca (247-183 B.C.E.), the great Carthaginian general who led an army (with 37 elephants) over the Alps to invade Italy and defeated the Romans in a series of battles (including the one at Cannae, on August 2, 216 B.C.E., widely regarded as the most brilliant military victory in history).
