I started with Tang Soo Do in 1975 at age 10. I took up Shotokan in 1985 and taught within that style for many years. I studied Ninjitsu which started out as a Genbukan school and then changed to Bujinkan. I studied Arnis for a year and in the past year I studied Brazilian Jiujtsu. My favorite art to study was Ninjitsu because it was no nonsense and to the point. I want to begin studying Ninjitsu again but I am hesitant due to the high probability of injury, specifically broken fingers. A broken finger would not work well with my profession, I am a firearms and self-defense instructor.
