Welcome to the forum! very interesting reading your training history

Thanks guys .

It all started with wrestling at the local police boys club .

Actually , it all started with Mario ; a new guy at school. he was Malaysian and back then in those days , at that type of place, he was shockingly racially vilified , but that was sorta the norm back then . But I found him interesting so sat next to him at school and we made friends .

One day we where mucking around and 'wrestling' and he was awesome , then he goes , "Lets knife fight "and we picked up sticks . He was totally all over me . He explained how he was from a rough area and some older boy relatives, showed him. So he started showing me stuff . Then a guy we knew invited us to wrestling at PBC. The instructor was impressed as we had been making up some moves mucking around together . Then a karate instructor started at the club so we did that . But he was a fake ( teaching 'Indian Karate ' as a 'black belt ' - turns out he was a green belt in Ju-jitsu ) so we left. Then the Shotokan guys started using our school gym .

Its funny how things play out .. and we get to where we are .
