− | My martial arts journey started in 1984-85 when with Sosuishiryu in Oregon City, Oregon. After 16 years of study I decided I should branch out and I started studying [[Shinto Muso Ryu]] Jo. Eventually, my path led me to Japan where I now study [[Sosuishi ryu]], [[Shinto Muso Ryu]], Owari [[Tenshin Koryu Kempo]], [[kukishin ryū| Kukishinden Tenshin Hyoho]] and [[Hōten-ryū]]. This may seem like a lot, but the last four budo I study are under the same teacher, so I am not Dojo hopping or bogging myself down too much.
