Greetings to all. My name is Shannon and I currently live near a (very) small town in Mississippi. I retired a couple of years ago from the US Army after 24 years of service. I got started in the Martial Arts as a way to do something with my kids, and have managed to earn my brown belt in Wado-ryu style karate.

Anybody else from Mississippi and/or Wado-ryu style?

Thanks for the welcome. My first name is James, so, sorry Lisa, but I'm another guy:) . I spent my time in the Signal Corps and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.

Thanks again,

I'm not from Mississippi, but I am across state lines to the east (AL), and do practice Wado.
