I've been training continuously for the last 20 years in the martial arts. I started in judo in my earlier teens and found Korean hapkido in my late teens. I became a senior student of Master Hwang In-shik, one of the most conservative and talented teachers of his generation.
My interests in the origins of hapkido took me to both Korea and Japan where the founder of hapkido was reputed to have studied Daito-ryu. I lived for a few years in both countries, studying Hapkido and Daito-ryu, and had many experiences which both deepened my understanding of the martial arts and widened my perspective on them.
I have created or contributed to the following pages:
- Choi Yong-Sul
- Hwang In-Shik
- Han Bong-Soo
- Sokaku Takeda
- Shogen Okabayashi
- Morihei Ueshiba
- Jigoro Kano
- Hapkido
- Korea Hapkido Federation
- Ji Han Jae
- Daito-ryu aikijujutsu
- Takeda Sokaku

- Yoseikan Budo
- Itto-ryu
- Jigoro Kano
- Kyoju Dairi
- Tenjin Shinyo-ryu
- Maniwa Nen-ryu
- Kim Yun Sang

I live in Toronto, Canada, where I lead a small training group called the Scarborough Martial Arts Training Group.
