Saturday Tournament Results
We had a nice showing today at the Beaver tournament.
Zoe – 3 first places (great job!)
Dillon – 2 first places and one 2nd place (he was robbed by the judges – in sudden death he hit the kid square in the face and the kid followed up with a backhand to the top of the head and they gave the point to the other kid – but three of the judges were from this kid’s school – any one say bias?)
Sensei Mark – got a 1st and a 2nd
Ryan – got a 1st and a 2nd
Me – got a 1st and two 4ths
Nice job to everyone!!

About Me
I am currently a practicing 4th degree black belt in Shotokan Karate. I am a partner in a local school (Ichigeki Karate), and my ranking instructor is Master John Barton of King Cobra Karate.
I have studied martial arts since I was 11 years old (30+ years ago!). During middle school and high school, I studied Kung Fu (Wing Chun) under my first instructor N. Wong. I wrestled in middle/high school, then studied Tang Soo Do in college while here in the US (to red belt level), I went to Japan to continue my college education at Kansai University, where I joined a martial arts club. After college, I studied kick boxing at a small school in Los Angeles, then I started training in catch wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu and Lucha before entering MMA in 1994. I retired from MMA in 1997. A year later I began training in Shotokan and have been happily doing so ever since! Near the end of 2006 my partner Sensei Mark and I opened up our own school, and we officially became affiliated with Master Barton of King Cobra Karate.
Quite a history! I have always loved martial arts, it has always been a part of my life and I plan to continue with it for many years to come!
