More About johnneace

Hello, my name is Ricardo. I live in Weatherford, Texas. I'm looking to take up Moo Duk Kwan Karate. Does anyone know if there is an"IN PERSON" class near me? I live West of  Fort Worth, Texas. Dallas is on the other side of Fort Worth and a little too far for me.. Please let me know if you can. Thanks!!!

Hello and how are you?

Thank you for the invite to your profile and your world. I am ignorant to your currant rank however by your Dan number I will presume it is up there, but until you advise me of it, and with all due respect, I will address you as "Sir"...lol I smile...

To give you a bit of my history I am from Region 10 and my first instructor was Sa Bom Nim William Diaz, who is also my brother. My first memories of my training were back in the 70's when I started at the Chuck Norris system in Hawthorn, California. Of course like any kid growing up back then Bruce Lee was my first encounter to any kind of martial arts watching him on the green Hornet show spark my interest so my brother got me involved, he was already training at the Norris system himself at the time.

Ok it is a pleasure to meet you and I do hope all the best for you Sir!

Rick…

Thanks for the add.  God bless

Pleased to meet you, John.  From the look of the shirt, you must be training, you young guy?  I am a bit older than you, 72, but still trying to rock a bit, even after last year's heart surgery.  Started in Shoto Kan in 1968.  Changed to Tae Kwon Do in 1970.  Joined the Moo Duk Kwan in 1992, Dan Bon 35311.  I received my Yuk Dan from KJN Dominic Giacobbe and SBN Keith Bennett about three years ago.  I love all the same guitarists as you but you didn't mention Eric Clapton or George Harrison.  Started playing guitar in 1965, still not very good but was playing out with a local Rock group 'Blind Date' a few years ago.  The pandemic has pushed me to acoustic and fingerstyle.  Do you play? Stay safe and well.
