Biography
Studied Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate for about 23 years now. After I received my 5th degree in karate, I decided that I wanted to branch out and add some new skills to my martial arts abilities. I had done a little judo when I was in college and decided that I would continue the grappling part of my journey and began brazilian jiu jitsu within the De La Riva lineage. That was over 8 years ago now. I am enjoying as there is always things I can improve. I still study and work to improve my karate and kobudo, okinawan weapons, as well.
