I began training at Nippon Kokusai Karate Center (a branch location of Japan International Karate Center) on June 10th, 2002. In January 2004, I took over management and ownership of the business side of the dojo. In October of that year, I earned my Shodan / 1st degree black belt rank. In April 2005, because of differences with the previous management, I formally split from NKKC. I kept the building and changed the school's name. I have since done various lengths of study in other martial arts styles, primarily Gracie Jiujitsu and western sport boxing. I have also continued training in Heiwado as time allows. I have a wide variety of interests, including anime, video games, and religion.
In November 2011, I officially joined the International Fighting Arts Federation as a lifetime member, under Sensei Dwayne Eaddy. View my current IFAF membership page for details. Also visit the American Hiep Tinh Mon Karate main page for details on Sensei Eaddy and the IFAF. We have a shared goal of keeping "politics" and unnecessary bureaucracy out of martial arts instruction.
