I used to take martial arts but I forgot what it was called. I was like friggin 10 years old. I do try to obtain what I can from videos, since Wing Chun or Chinese Traditional Boxing is hard to find by Dojo.

i wish i could be so lucky...

i trained originally under bob and wyck blankenship, who trained with chuck norris, and master tammy harvey-lamberson.

now it's sean hollender, who obtained his black belt under the same people as i did. he then moved to japan...and that's whom i will be learning the aikido from.

You are luckier than you think. I've heard of blankenship before.

Ahhhhh, I remember my instructor was a man named Ken Rossen or something like that. That was the name but the last name could have incorrect spelling. Some famous chick teaches Tae Kwon Do here. She was popular in the 80's or something or rather. But I forget from where. I shall do a search and find out.

oh, yes...both of them are awesome.

it's hard for me...to watch, now. mister bob blankenship has MS, now...and it does affect him.

by lucky, i meant being able to train in a place where they literally breathe the art.

Nevermind it is not important. I can't find out the chick's name. I am sure she stopped instructing and she wasn't that that famous. She was like in a movie or a popular woman's kick boxer from back in the day or something. Some blonde lady. Oh well

Yeah overseas they train and teach much differently than they do here. A lot of emphasis is on spirituality. For instance, the best fighters learn how to HEAL the body BEFORE they learn how to rip it apart.
