| + | A bit more about myself. I currently practice Nakamura Ryu Battodo (3-dan), Mugai Ryu Iaihyodo (2-dan), and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo. I am also ranked 1-dan in Atarashii Naginata and 1-kyu in ZNKR kendo. I have practiced Aikido, both Seishinkai (2-kyu) and Kokikai (3-kyu), but have not practiced officially for some time. |

| + | I have an great interest in all areas of Japan, but especially in the pre-Edo period. I have a fascination for the Nara and Heian areas, especially the esoteric practices such as Onmyodo, Buddhist Mikkyo, etc. I am also interested in stories and legends, and sometimes perform 'sit-down philosophy' (as opposed to stand up comedy) to help pass on some of the stories from Japan and China. |

| + | Besides Japan, I'm also interested in learning more about the history of Korea, China, and Southeast Asia. |

| + | As far as Wiki stuff goes--I'm pretty much a noob on everything, so feel free to correct me if I'm doing something I shouldn't. I'm taking that whole "be '''bold'''" statement literally. |
