SavageGeek Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi all! I'm new (obviously!), having only recently discovered the site. Spent some time reading the posts before registering, and it looks like a great forum.I'm 47... live in (and am from) Tennessee. I'm an IT guy (developer) by day (the whole "savage geek" thing started as a joke about how the people in my department can devour food!) and I work for a branch of local government.I started with traditional TKD in my twenties. After receiving my black belt in that style I went on to explore bits and pieces of other styles, in some cases with instructors and in others via books and videos. I have a small dojo in my basement where I continue to train. At this point I'd say my style is kind of... eclectic.Always been a fan of eastern philosophy as well... mostly Taoism and Zen, though in more recent years I've studied Tantric philosophy quite a bit.Appreciate y'all letting me join your forum, and I look forward to many interesting discussions.
MasterPain Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I too like studying things which if you call them what they're called, isn't really the thing which you call them. The Tao's confusing like that. My fists bleed death. -Akuma

tallgeese Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Welcome to KF! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the subjects here. Have been in a basement dojo here and there I have a certain appreciation for this type of training and the experimentation it brings. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
