Hi everyone, greetings from West Virginia (the state, not the western part of Virginia).

I am currently a yellow-belt in Chito-Ryu. About 15 or so years ago I studied Aikido/Aikijitsu for about 2-3 years at West Virginia Univerisity (never tested for belts), and about 4 years before that started Southern Chinese Kempo (earning a blue belt - between green and brown) and Shorin-ryu (earning a green).

A bit rusty after a 15 year hiatus, but enjoying getting back into it again. Looking forward to looking around the site. Had the misfortune of finding another martial arts based site that was not so... intelligent. So I am shopping around for a site that has more respectful and intelligent discussions about martial arts.
