 My primary area of "expertise" (for lack of a better term) is in Filipino and Indonesian martial arts. However, I've been involved in the martial arts since 1978, trained in several systems and been exposed to many, many others. I've also done a fair amount of reading about martial arts in general and about various systems. I can answer questions about Filipino and Indonesian martial arts and I can often answer questions about martial arts in general. Feel free to ask me any question about martial arts. Even if I don`t have an answer I can often point you in the right direction to find the answer.

 Being an expert means to be a master all, I am meerly master of myself. Everyone can grow from where they are there are no limits there is no peak. One who claims to know everything has only touched a splinter. You can never max out on experience, or knowledge.

 Hello. My experience is mainly in Japanese martial arts including Japanese Swordsmanship and how it applies to open hand/self defense. I have also studied a few Korean styles and may be able to answer basic questions concerning them. General questions from beginners, intermediate, or advanced students are acceptable as are more specific questions. Martial arts are my passion and I love sharing.
