I now train with a locally-originated school called Aikendo, named after the founder Dr Henry Naiken. It is not a new art, but an amalgam of traditional karate, tiger kung fu, tai chi, JKD, kickboxing, metaphysics and whatever else we can lay our hands on. Occasionally, I also train with the local kickboxing group. I have also very brief stints with Ashihara and Praying Mantis.
I consider myself very inexperienced in martial arts,
and am just a beginner. I'm learning quite a lot from this discussion list.
Thanks, Hoosain, for including me. If I don't contribute much, please excuse
me due to my inexperience compared to you heavyweights. But I'm reading
your contributions, and just wish to say Great Going, Guys (& Gals)!
