I made it here, and I hope that this place will be a nice place to hang out in. I'll be brave and I'll add a picture. This picture is one of myself and Sensei AJA Advincula, one of the foremost martial artists in the world, who I have the pleasure and honor of training with. Just how good is he? Well, he brought martial arts to the US Marine Corp, and he also created the USMC weapons and hand to hand combat training program. Just FYI, I'm on the right. Yes, martial arts is an even bigger passion than watches for me. I train in Isshinryu Karate, Kodokan Judo, Escrima, and Kobujitsu. I hold the rank of Ni-Dan (second degree black belt) in Isshinryu karate. I also am a certified instructor.
