Mu Ryuk Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hey everyone...well, I'll skip the preliminaries and get straight to it. Name: Jacob/Jake Age: 15 Location: Monterey, California Styles: Tang Soo Do, Giron Arnis Escrima. Height: 5'6 Weight: 194.6 lbs Trained for eight years (ages three to eleven) in Tang Soo Do under Ted Attebury (Cho Dan) then left. Gained a lot of weight. Recently returned, after the passing of Mr.Attebury and am now training under Matt Durney (Cho Dan). at the same Dojang. I returned as a 10th Gup (White Belt) and am now a 7th Gup (Blue Belt). Since I returned on April 5, 2004, I have lost 33.4 pounds and will lose 29.6 more, putting me at 165 pounds. I did powerlifting for several months and I have found the strength gained beneficial. I recently started training in Giron Arnis Escrima under Guro David Hines and am loving it. Other arts I intend to seriously pursue: Kyokushin Karate Muay Thai Boxing Some kind of stand up grappling art Some kind of ground grappling art Yeah, I'm a stand up/striking kind of guy, heh heh. I am always willing to learn pretty much anything I have the opportunity to learn. Looking forward to learning a lot here! Tang Soo! Passion transcends pain.
