A journey through the world of martial arts.....
“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” Waldo Emerson
Quick Synopsis of my background: Had a stroke when I was 2. It cause partial paralysis on my right side. I do not have full mobility of that side. I cannot use my right hand or punch with it but I can throw a mean elbow. I cannot pivot my right foot as well. In general this does not matter. In the street no one cares. Also people may even look for those that are targets.
I have run 5K races, ran the Pikes Peak Ascent, mountain bike, rock climbed up to a 5.5 climb, cross country ski, was on a Mountain Search and Rescue Team. I also have White Water rafted down the Arkansas River .

During 2007-2008 I met 3 Grand Masters, One The Grand Master in Hawaiian Lua, Pei, A Grand Master in Tai Chi, and last but not least I had the honor of been at a seminar with Guru Dan Inosanto.
