The Fighting Edge
White Belt
Hello Martial Talk Members!
My name is Jason and I currently reside in Hope Mills, NC while serving in the Active Duty Army with the 3rd SFG(A). I am married with 4 going on 5 kids (one girl and 4 boys... most likely).
My experience comes from Jeet Kune Do (we used to say Concepts... we still using that term? The politics change so much!), Muay Thai, Inosanto-Lacoste Kali, Modern Arnis, Lameco Escrima, exposure to various other arts via cross-training and seminars (Sayoc Kali had a great impact and influence on me), and most recently to my great pleasure... Filipino Combat Systems (FCS). I am a level 3 Apprentice Instructor (Tagapagturo) in JKDC/Kali and Modern Arnis (albeit an out of practice one) via Guro John Bruce Daniels (a.k.a. JD... if your reading this... I will get you those DVD's ASAP and I actually have a site mostly done for you... sorry for the delay
. I am a noobie to FCS but will be working hard to fix that by starting a training group where ever I may be!
I hope to teach basic and intermediate FMA to help regain my own skills through the process of teaching others (you never really know something till you can pass it on effectively). The ability to teach is often not possessed by those who can perform since they take their own "natural" abilities or backgrounds for granted... So what your left with is some great fighters that "used to be" and a ton of forgotten knowledge.
I hope to continue my growth in the Inosanto Blend via whatever means are available since those are my roots and plan on making FCS my core foundation for future development.
I am also in the odd position of having osteoporosis as a 33 year old male... I have no deficiencies or other possible contributing factors that have been found. I have only broken 4 bones in my body not counting fractures... My pinkies, my nose, and my sternum... so I am extremely symmetrical
. So if you train with me... be gentle 
I used to train hard but who knows what might happen now. So as a natural result I am all about isolating different aspects of training for maximum learning and minimal injury. I don't need to get poked in the eye, stabbed, elbowed, or otherwise hit by a high speed technique to know it works... basic knowledge of body mechanics and physiology have taught me that! But if you feel hard core beating each other... go for it!
One particular pet peeve of mine is confusing sport with reality and people not recognizing what they are really training for or understanding that there is value in other (styles, methods, drills,... whatever) ways of doing things. It's all about what you are trying to accomplish, develop, or train for.
Besides the Martial Arts my other training, interests, talents, and abilities are:
Enjoying my Family!
Graduate of the USAJFKSWCS as a Psychological Operations Specialist
Graduate of the Defense Information School as a Multi-Media Illustrator
BSBA pending in Marketing (hopefully the first part of 08)
Professional Certificates in:
Sorry if that was TMI... I look forward to contributing to this community.
Best Regards,
Jason
