Welcome to MartialTalk. Is there a story behind "DrSmith"?
Not really but I will offer some further background if you like. My martial arts career, began around age eleven, during summers with my grand parents I would practice "Karate" with an instructor from there home town, it was actually a Kick boxing/ Judo Mix and the teacher could barely speak English but it was fun. Next I was adopted bt a couple and my foster Dad was a Hybrid Karate Instructor, I attained purple belt in his system called Combat Karate which was a Kenpo,Judo,shotokan mix. There was a break for about six or seven years in my training in which I joined the Army and lifted alot of weights and ran and ran and ean lols. Then another three or four break from everything and finally now for the past year and a half Ive been doing Zanshin Karate which is another Hybrid mix Shotokan,Judo,Boxing, wrestleing and Jujitsu, Im currently three tests away from my BB and shoul have that in about a year.

Yeah me too. I suppose what is the biggest influence in hybrid. Namely the biggest core, or the core. Maybe in the general ma thread as an introduction maybe?
