New to the board.

[Mu Ryuk]

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!
