This is who trained me when I was in to law enforcement.

No, he was asian...mid 50's I'd wager. Could find out his name, I'll e-mail my old Chief tonight.

YOSC when I started with him, I knew nothing about fighting or defending. I became his primary pick on student. My name was Pssst. The man is walking legend. If he would show up to arrest you, you would've been wise to put the cuffs on yourself without him getting involved!

I took Ishunru (cant spell) and did kick boxing with a few friends for a couple of years....never worried about belts.....miyagi-san says belts only good to hold up pants

LMFAO....nice.....

I was told not to focus on belts but focus on what I'm doing. The teacher decides when he feels I'm ready to advance for a higher belt.

Wally Jay was the man.His small circle theory was the foundation of my ju-jitsu training.I still have his book laying around here somewhere.

I trained under Dr. Kyung Ho Min now located at Berkeley and received a black belt in Kodokan Judo

In 1969 Dr. Kyung Ho (Ken) Min founded the Martial Arts Program at Berkeley. In his over quarter-century of leadership, Dr. Min has qualifications in: 9th Dan Taekwondo, 8th Dan Judo, 7th Dan Hapkido, 3rd Dan Kendo.

The guy could kick my butt any day of the week.

Learned wall - knife techniques tonight.... talk about one fast way to break a wrist...... insane class....

Used the kinves as if we were intended to rob someone that has been pushed against the wall full force... pretty intense and very effective I'd say.

I keep getting the higher ranks to train with... I guess that's a good sign

hate to brake it to u bro, but if a dude like you, 6 foot and shaved head came up to me and said he was going to beat my ass if I didn't give him my bling bling, I would think of Mr.Clean and give him all my bling bling cause we all know Mr.Clean does more then just cleaning.

but wow, I never got to knives! Only got to staff forms.
