Hi, I`ve been lurking about a week and figured I`d join in the fun.
My name`s Dave Young and I`m an American living in Northern Japan. I`m 42 and teach jr high and high school English in a ski resort town here.I started out with Kung Fu when I was a kid back in Ohio, and as teachers or I moved I got into Karate, Kali, and just a tiny bit of Silat. I`m hoping that I can learn more because I really enjoyed the Silat and how it fit in so well with what I was already doing.
This town is really tiny. About 2,000 people. There`s a small Judo club but it really doesn`t interest me like striking arts do.
I love to cook, and learned lots when I arrived in Japan and the only job I could land at first was working in a resturaunt 14 hours a day. Now I keep happy baking for some of my friends and students.
I worked weekends as a bouncer in college, but never had any big dramatic fights. I also ran the Kung Fu program at a friend`s dojo for 2 years, but I just taught and never got into the business side of running things.
Hope to learn a few things and have fun here.
Thanks!
