TheMartialArtsReporter At The Beach .... Some Years Ago

“Let’s just blame it all on Bruce Lee!

What Bruce Lee put on display in “Enter The Dragon” was the main reason
The Martial Arts Reporter got hooked on martial arts in the first place …
way back in the mid 70′s.

Since the only style that appealed to him and offered in his home town
at the time was traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate, it just seemed logical
for him to dive right into it.

Studying under accomplished trainers and training diligently, he gradually rose through
the ranks at a local karate club to become a part-time instructor, respected by students
and peers.

Training and teaching during the week and attending seminars and competing at
tournaments on the weekends truly became more than just a hobby.

Martial arts became his passion!

Quenching his thirst to learn more about other martial arts styles, The Martial Arts Reporter also attended classes in Judo and Aikido to add to his martial arts “toolbox”.
Several years of Western boxing training complemented his workout regimen.

Years later, he dared once again to step outside of his comfort zone to experience
Wing Chun, Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do under the guidance of world-renowned martial
arts instructor, Sifu Francis Fong.

Later he studied Muay Thai and MMA under the tutelage of Richard Trammel and
Pedro Villalobos.

After years of martial arts training and extensive travelling to 4 continents and
more than 40 countries, The Martial Arts Reporter continues to absorb and share
related topics with fellow martial artists and martial arts enthusiasts through this blog.”
