April 5, 20188 yr Welcome to the forum! With that combination, I'm curious if you're from Central Illinois Southern Illinois, actually! Now I'm wondering if we might know a few of the same people.Lol, it's certainly possible! And I have family in Southern Illinois, as well. I trained in Shuri-Ryu in Morton and Peoria, IL. The Peoria dojo was just a street over from Koeppel Sensei's dojo.

April 6, 20188 yr Welcome to KF! It's great to have you. As a fellow graduate school student good luck! How close to being done are you? Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training. https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/
