Hello all . To those who dont know me I trained with sifu nic and sihing (sifu) courtney. I had previously been a student of Robert Young as a child martial artist. Having studied in Fred Villaris Shaolin Kempo karate. He went on to found Eastern Dragon karate school. That school focuses on combining the aspects of shaolin kempo karate he taught me in the Fred Villari system as well as other aspects of the martial arts. Currently I study Uechi Ryu Karate with Sensei John Guarnieri at 603 Karate where I am ranked brown belt. And I am currently also studying American Kenpo Karate with Senior Professor Shawn Knight of Knight Method Kenpo school. I am ranked blue belt in that style. My training in the martial arts has been a facinating one. I have done various things. Met various people. And I look forward to the journey continuing and meeting other great people along the way.
