>>750364I'll give you the laundry list. Some of these overlap so don't try to just add them up. They all fit into a twenty year period.
Around 14 years Isshinryu, 2nd dan. George Dillman-affiliated. Bullshit.
About two years ITF-style Taekwondo. Bullshit.
Around 2 years Ed Parker-style Kenpo. Bullshit.
A little under a year of judo and aikido. Not for me.
About a year of Shotokan. Bullshit.
A year and a half of capoeira. A++, would play again, even if bullshit.
Two years of Wushu. Fun, bullshit, nobody imagined he was a badass though.
I've taken classes in sambo, kendo, shinkendo, silat, and other shit that isn't coming to mind at the moment. No rank in any of those, but I got a feel for them.
Four years of Seidokaikan at the hombu in Osaka. Look it up on wikipedia. Switch the language to Japanese. That photo is the dojo. Training floor is up top, weight room and bathrooms are on the first floor. K-1 ring is in the basement. It's the only worthwhile training I've received for any useful length of time.
I've done everything wrong for a long-ass time and completely ruined any talent I might have ever had with bullshit training. I'm lanky and long-legged and get utterly fucked by any kind of grappler. I'm flexible, but I have a lot of old injuries slowing me down. I can also take a lot of hits and keep moving forward, and at this point adrenaline dumps aren't a problem. I know what I know, and it isn't much. I've been around this motherfucker a while though.
I'm currently living in Asheville, North Carolina with no plans to return to Japan any time soon, and wonder where
>>750369 lives. He's right I'm nobody though.
