ps1 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 omg!! some of you have been doing martial arts longer than ive been alive!!ive been training for only like a year and a half now.Until he died two years ago, my Shotokan instructor had been a black belt longer than I was alive. Don't worry, I remember the time when I could say I had only trained one day. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

Sensei Tom OBrien Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I have been in the martial arts for about 33 yrs. now. I have been a Yondan in Vee-Jitsu for almost 25 yrs. My Sensei Prof. Jim Powers and his Sensei Prof. Florendo Visitation passed away. I have a Nidan in Nisei Goshinjutsu. I have a Likha Tatlo (brown belt) in Arnis from Prof. Remy Presas and unfortunately he passed away also. I took TKD for 6 yrs., Shotokan for 2 yrs. and I have maintained a small humnble dojo, the Ronin Martial Arts Club for almost 25 yrs. I have felt like an orphan for a really long time. I spoke to a 10th degree black belt a couple of weeks ago though and he commended me for not going off on my own and proclaiming rank. He and my Sensei, Prof. Jim Powers were senior students of Prof. Vee. I would be glad to accept rank from him. I am just glad to feel grounded now. I feel connected, like I belong somewhere now. That is more important to me than the rank. Thanks,Sensei Tom
