June 7, 200521 yr Hi,My name is Paul and I'm a sandan and sensei in Shindo Jinen Ryu, which is a lesser known style of Japanese Karate, but also one of the "original" styles. (It was founded by Konishi Yasuhiro, who was part of the group of masters that trained together and included Funakoshi, Mabune and Miyagi.)I've been training since 1985, and am also Shodan ranked in Hayashi-ha Shito-Ryu and first kyu-ranked in JKA Shotoktan. Originally from Boston, I'm currently located in Kansas City, MO.I'm looking forward to learning more about (And from!) all of you!Best,PBI "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

June 8, 200521 yr It is obvious that the P in PBI is for Paul, but what is the rest? Just curious. In my town, there is an old old old store by the name of Peppercorn Brothers Incorporated. So the townsfolk just refer to it as PBI. Kind of interesting little local trivia; useless, but interesting nonetheless. Oh, and welcome When a man's fortunate time comes, he meets a good friend;When a man has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.-anonymous
