Starting in Yoshukai karate international at age 16, I got mixed up with taking lessons in American traditional wrestling as well as karate lessons.
At age 22 I found myself in Thailand and I lived there for 2 years, studying Muay Thai as an assistant instructor in a modernized American ninjitsu school that I was in at the time.
In 2013 I took up Ed Parker's Chinese Kenpo and kickboxing lessons, both under my Kenpo Master who is a direct student of the Kenpo Founder.

After that I started spending the last decade traveling kickboxing gyms in Florida in my area.
Unfortunately, the good Muay Thai gyms are in further out cities that are hours away by car.
I'm looking for a sparring partner in Palmetto where I live or Sarasota where I work.
