So What State?

[Traymond]

Originally from Iowa, live in Virginia right now for a few more months, and then relocating to Japan courtesy of the US Navy.

Oh where at in Japan...I been to Okinawa for a while but not to much in japan, I think I spend two weeks in japan, Kyoto to be exact.

Traymond, we'll be in the far north of the main island, In the Aomori Prefecture. A little town called Misawa. Lots of farmland, little country towns and one US military base.

If you can make it down to Camp Foster and are interested in some good karate training, look for either Wade Chroninger (Goju Ryu) or Eddie Erazo (Kenpo Karate and kickboxing).

Wade Chroninger...wasnt he on the documentary about all the martial arts...what was it called...whuh...it even had uechi ryu in their...Hmmm...I forgot the name of that documentary...was it way of the warrior, I would like to learn from him.

Yes he was actually. He's with the Mei Bu Kan Goju Ryu, a student of Sensei Ikemiyagi Masaaki.

At first you think "Hey, check out the cute little guy!" Next thing you know, he taps you with a gedan mawashi and you want to cry home to Mama. Amazingly powerful for his size.

Yes I seen on the documentary when he fractured wade's rib, I dont even think he put all of his strength in his elbow attack either.
