Hello....

[eismann31]

I'm a newbie to this forum. I'll go by Eismann31 in this thing. Eismann is a nickname I acquired in high school. It means iceman or ice cream man in German. Also, I'm 31 years old.... Anyways.... I study Nahate Goju-Ryu Karate-Do with Sensei Wiley in Iraq. I earned my yellow belt last week. I studied Tae Kwon Do briefly in South Korea with Master Kim. Which Kim?!? Yes, Kim.... Master Kim.... Yes.... I've also studied a little Judo, but Sensei Wiley broke that instructor. You can ask him about the story. As I have time, I hope to contribute positively to this forum.

Thanks for the welcome. It seems that I left out some details in my introduction. I'm learning about karate in Iraq. I learned TKD in South Korea. I make pilgrimages to the centers of ancient martials arts and learn from the masters..... er uh.... Well, I'm glad you asked instead of assuming anything. I am a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army. I have been in the United States Army since 1997. I have held many jobs in the Army. I started my Army career in Field Artillery. After three years, I downgraded to Army Aviation. I could say that I work on the Armament, Electrical and Avionics systems of the AH-64D Longbow Apache Helicopter, the US Army's most maintained aircraft, but the only important thing I am doing here is learning Naha-Te Goju-Ryu Karate-Do from Sensei Wiley AKA Stone Dragone....
