G95champ Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I found this site last night and I hope to be arround a lot to learn and socialize with other Martial Artists. I have started training in Feb. 1993 in Shotokan Karate. I advanced to First Dan in May of 1996. I am currently holding my second DAN in Shotokan. In 1996 I started training in another style. This style is called American TAO Karate. The guy I trained under developed it out of several other styles in which he held black belts in. It focus on Hipakido, Tang Soo Do, and Kung Fu. Our kata came from about everywehre however. I advanced to First Dan in this style in the summer of 1999. I also studied some Tia Boxing and Ju-Jitsu. I would love to learn more of these arts one day. I will be posting under the karate section of the board. I hope to meet and learn from you all.

G95champ Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 Jack? Do you run this web site? If not who does? I think this is a great place. I have been looking for such a site over the past few weeks. This one is by far the best I have seen. Thanks and I hope to meet more of you all I have read and learned so much over the past few hours. (General George S.

G95champ Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 Im no master by any means. Yes I hold several ranks and I think I am well knowledged in the arts but Im not Master. Nor will I ever be. My sensei Howie Harvey taught us that only 2 people should wear that title one is Master Gichin Funikoshi only because he started our art. The other is Jesus Christ.
