New from Salem, Oregon

Hi there, I'm new to Martial Talk from Salem, Oregon. I started in Martial Arts about 5 years ago, learning from Aaron Piddington in Ashland, Oregon while I attended Southern Oregon University. I earned my Black Belt (Shodan) from Aaron. If any one has ever trained with Aaron, I would love to hear about it.
I am currently training at the American Schools of Shaolin Kempo located in Keizer, Oregon. I have read a lot on Martial Talk about the people that have started this style and have found it very informative. This art is a strech for me physically. There are a few flowery techniques and some strange training methods. But overall I am very pleased with the training at this school. I had my doubts about any martial art that has been put together in the past few decades that tries to come across as traditional. But the instructors that I have been involved with are top notch.
