Hello everyone. I've been interested in martial arts and have enjoyed watching them for years (judo, MMA, sumo) but have recently decided to get off the couch and put on a uniform. I'm mostly interested in Japanese martial arts, judo, jujutsu, karate and aikido; I'm also interested in the judo/jujutsu based BJJ. As well, I'm interested in all things Japanese (Nihongo, Zen, cha no yu, manga).
