My desire to study the martial arts began with “Bruce Leroy” and my mother’s need to provide her son with the means to protect himself in her absence. 16 years later, I feel I can honestly say I'm starting to get the hang of it. I received my Shodan (1st Degree Black Belt) in December of 1992 and have continued training in various arts and with various instructors in the search to find ways to honestly express myself and to aid anyone willing to travel this chosen path.
