- Title
- Founder, Orlando Martial Arts Meetup Group
- Introduction
- I wanted to form a group that allowed for the sharing of different techniques. You don't really get that when you join a specific school and I find that most martial artists enjoy that cross-pollination-It
's fun and makes you a more rounded fighter. - Anything else we should know about you, or any comments for the group?
-
I don't profess to be an expert, but I do look forward to bringing together those who are so we can all learn more. Let's not forget the PHILOSOPHY of martial arts--Budo. In this Meetup, the students are the teachers and the teachers students...
- What ranks/honors/awards do you hold?
-
My philosophy is that EVERYONE is a white belt. You are always learning... I am proud to be a member of the BROTHERHOOD OF MARTIAL ARTISTS.
- How long have you been a martial artist?
-
I'm 40-something...so a long time. I never really mastered any one style though--just kind of bounced around.
- What style(s) do you practice?
-
I've studied a variety of forms over the years; karate, judo, aikido, and Krav Maga & MMA style fighting. I'm far from an expert in any of these, but enjoy the competitive nature of the sports and find it's a great way to stay in shape.

“ Hey Brian, I've missed seeing all of you guys, too. The class that I teach has shifted from Thursday to Wednesday nights, so I'm am no longer free then and with the school start time changing in August I am going to have do my training at night rather than in the mornings. So I'm pretty much done it looks like. But it looks like you've been lining up some really interesting classes. I hope it all goes well for you. ”
