This is a personal blog for me to just jot down some thoughts and ideas that I've got scrambling around. I'm a self proclaimed martial artist for about ten years now. I started with Goju-ryu karate, however I've expaneded my skill set to a lot of things: Muay Thai, BJJ, Wrestling and most recently Kudo.
I personally consider myself a karateka, however I also believe that martial arts don't have to be tightly constrained into one thing or another. I believe that martial arts should reflect a type of physical culture like the kind seen back in the early 1900s, where martial arts gyms are used as community hubs and where you can meet new people, chat and simultaneously work on a physical skill together.
