kensei Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Well, posted a few and now its time to introduce myself I guess.My name is James and I am a mod on other sites as well as a shotokan instructor with more than 30 years of training in Canada. I have my Black belts in Judo and Karate and have trained in Hung Gar, Kendo, Sambo, Uechi Ryu, Goju Ryu, Aikido, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Tai Chi and my latest is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.No matter what I train in I always stick to shotokan as my core style because it makes sense to me and I study now not just to keep healthy but also because I have had the same instructor for 3 decades and he is an inspiration at 71 that makes me think I can train just as long, If I am smart about it. I run several blogs and I also write a online article about MMA events and fighters. I have written three small books that are out of print and count myself as a bit of a Karate historian as well.I am the happy father of a little girl with special needs and work in the insurance industry after years as a physical therapist with sports teams and private walk ins in my own clinic. I hope I can contribute a bit here and enjoy ready others ideas. J Even monkeys fall from trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
