Greetings,

My name is Insley Stiles. I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I am what I call a Lifer with respect to martial arts. Thus far I've been training for 32 years (I'm 45) and I have no intention of giving it up. I can't imagine NOT training actually. I trained in Uechi Ryu Karate for 13 years and earned a Nidan. I then fell in love with the sword and have been training in and teaching Kenjutsu for the last 19 years. Over the years I have dabbled in several other arts such as Aikido, kali, Wing Chung and a few others.

I'm extremely happy to have found the MT Forum. I look forward to trading ideas and advice from all of you out there and possibly sharing a few laughs along the way.

Regards,
Ins

Hey, nice to see more sword art practicioners here. Swords are easy to fall in love with, IMO... a good sword is a poem in steel, after all.

Best regards,
