Some new guy from Mass

[nitflegal]

Just introducing myself as new guy to the forums. Started studying Shotokan Karate back in '88, spent four years studying Toyama ryu battojutsu and started studying Bujinkan Taijutsu on an off and on basis (more off than on until recently, sadly) up in Derry, NH back in '92. Moved to Michigan where I played in Aikido, Jujitsu, wing chun (man do I have the wrong body type for that!), and Krav Maga before coming back home to Mass last year and beginning to study the Bujinkan again up in Winchendon, MA and German longsword at the Higgins in Worcester. One of these days I'll find a hobby that doesn't involve my middle-aged body being covered in bruises and creaking when I train. . . Sadly, I have this odd fixation with meter long razor blades on handles!

So, hello,
Matt

It's the Winchendon Martial Arts Center at the Central street plaza, next to the Subway sandwich place. Nice big open school and so far I've been able to avoid slinging a bokken at the windows. So far at least. . .

Besides, it's got a good group of students to play with and my 6-year old has fun in the kids class, so it's just nice to get back into the regular training.

Yep, kid's classes 10-10:45 and 11:00-11:45 (my daughter does the second one) and adult classes noon to 1Pm on Sat. Assuming this blasted cold clears up I'll be there tomorrow.
