Thanks for the responses!For those who asked about my MA backround,I had started in 74 with Shotokan,to yellow belt.Then the school closed.# years of a kajukenbo system.In university I was exposed to TKD tradtional style.Since then I've had Modern Arnis to brown belt.Also had hand to hand combat training from a former W.W.2 commando which turned me on to practical self-defense training.No longer interested in pursuing belts or years of tradtional study.very big on Bruce Tegners self-defense methods-hence my name!
