Hi All,
Over the years I’ve found some very interesting and informative threads on this forum, but I’ve only just now decided to advance beyond the lurking stage.
I “retired” a few years ago from practicing and teaching traditional jiu-jutsu and karate-jutsu in order to focus on dance, both teaching and performing (I was a dancer before I was a fighter, plus a nasty training injury had seriously cramped my style). J-J, K-J, and, of all things SUMO, are excellent complements to dance, and I still drill some of the movements and techniques. I also teach a fitness class based on sumo conditioning exercises.
I’m a certified FAST Defense coach – although currently without a working team – having trained under the founder, Bill Kipp, who is nowhere near as mean as he looks! :D
The moderators deserve a huge "thank you" for keeping this forum so civil. I look forward to exchanging ideas and being part of the E-Budo conversation!
