Hi all.

New to this forum but have been practicing in one MA or another for best part of 31 years (combination of starting very young and not being as young any more!!!).

Very interested in making new friends, reading the opinions of others and the development of MA around the globe as I truly believe that MA transends culture/languages etc etc

Look forward to being part of the community!!

The day I believe I have no more to learn is the day I will hang my head in shame at my own arrogance.

Welcome to the forum! It looks like you have an interesting mix of experiences when it comes to martial arts--I don't think we have any Koryu Uchinadi folks on here, at the moment, either! I'm looking forward to your contributions! :)

Look to the far mountain and see all.
