I was Inducted into The Alliance & US Martial Arts Hall of Fame on June 20th 2009 for Master Ninjitsu Instructor of the year and on August 1st 2009 as Master Instructor to the International Martial Arts Council United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame. What great memories I will have sitting along with all my peers in the world of martial arts and being recognised for what I have been working so hard for my whole life.
I also am a new member of the Black Dragon Fighting Society listed below of which this is a great honor given to me by Shidoshi Frank Dux.
I started studying Martial Arts in 1975 at the young age of 9 years old in the art of Kung-fu (Shaolin 5 animal system) and had earned a Red Sash, Instructor status by the age of 15 by Sifu Chu (YMCA) and won many points style tournaments held in California in the 1980's.
About that time I was searching out other Martial arts systems to study to expand my knowledge and found Dux Ryu Ninjitsu in the San Fernando Valley which I started taking classes and found the system to be very eclectic.
After a few months of training I was not able to attend further because of transportation problems so I set out to study whatever else I was able to find. I received Black belts in Tae Kwon Do & Tang soo do thru Robert James, Student of Chuck Norris & Byong Yu & Goju ryu thru Master Charles Fischer.
Upon the move of the Dux Ninjitsu school to a larger location I was able to start Attending again and this was to be my final destination for which I still continue to train except for the evolution of the system to F.A.S.S.T. which I currently train and have been authorized to teach under Hanshi Frank Dux. My current rank in the system is 6th Degree Black Belt
Thru my years of training I have been able to train with some great teachers and styles even though I was never ranked in these systems they include Judo, Aiki-Jiujitsu, Muay Thai & Tjakai Kickboxing, Grappling and CQC.
