Jackie Chan & Jet Li are also, 2 of my favorites. But, still & always, my All-Time favorite is the master, Bruce Lee. I can watch a Bruce Lee flick any day of the week and sit through the whole movie. kenpo_fighter

Hello, m brothers & sisters in the Kenpo Arts. This past January, my sensei promoted me to Shodan in Kenpo. I study under the Tracy's Kenpo Organization. Master Al Tracy, also, came out of Master Parkers Dojo and was personally instructed by Master Parker directly. I originally studied Kyokushin Karate, which was founded by Master Masu Oyama, who himself, originally trained in Chinese & Korean Kenpo, which served as his foundation to develop the Kyokushin Karate fighting style. Kinda like going back past my roots, as if that were possible. kenpo_fighter

Greetings Fellow Martial Artist. I stumbled onto this website the other week & seemed to be a very decent forum to communicate with other fighters like myself. I started training in Kyokushin Karate when I was about 8 yrs. old. Being a "Navy Brat", my family got stationed at the US Navy base in Japan. There, I began my martial arts journey. I had the privilege studying under a Japanese Sensei who treated me no different than his Japanese students. After 5 years hard studying & training, I had become a Shodan in Kyokushin. Once I got into high school, I stopped studying to explore other athletic opportunities. I was on the high school football & wrestling teams all through high school and got play baseball & track & field. I would find out later that my grappling experience would prove to be useful when I returned to the martial arts. 14 years after I had stopped studying, fate said it was time for me to come back home. For almost 2 years, my heart burned with a longing to start training again. The only problem was where to start. I felt like a warrior in search of a conquest. Something was missing from my life and my heart had sensed it. A year has passed since I've started studying Kenpo, the original form of Kyokushin Karate. I recently was promoted to Shodan in the Tracy's Kenpo Organization, an honor I did not yet feel worthy of, but an honor none the less. I've also spent the past year studying Aikido & Iaido (study of the Samurai Sword) alongside my kenpo training. The marriage of Aikido entering moves with Kenpo techniques has made me a more effective & efficient fighter than I ever was both on the street and in the arena. These days I train in hopes to someday give back to the martial arts community what it has given to me by opening a dojo of my own and continue the tradition and honor of what makes the true Martial Artist. Training again has felt like returning home after 14 years. It still feels right. It's great to be back home!

Have been studying Iado (The Samurai Sword) for almost a year. Recently started studying Escrima Sticks. Been really fun!! though, my hands are extremely tired and sore and has somewhat hindered my PS2 abilities.
