What an awesome resource this is - something for everyone!

I practice classical Japanese martial arts. Reading thse forums I have seen that there are a lot of knowledgable individuals here. I am co-owner of a Tabi company, where we import a premium type of indoor Tabi specifically for Budo practice. I look forward to some great conversation!

Hi!

I've studied a variety arts from my youth, including TKD, Demura-ha Shito-Ryu Karate-do, Budo Taijutsu, and a few others. My interests at this stage in life bend more towards Koryu Bugei/Kobudo type methods, as I have a strong interest in Jidai Gekki arts and culture. My wife is Japanese and we tend to visit Japan a few times a year, so I enjoy discovering new things while there and taking in the sights while visiting family and being stuffed like a melon with "Japanese home cooking". I'll translate "Japanese home cooking" for you: "if it swims, COOK IT!". Thanks for the warm welcome!

That's a very well rounded history. I study aikido (nihon goshin) and think it's one of the best japanese exports ever. As for the japanese cooking philosophy...hey there could be worse ideas. I love japanese food.
