    Welcome. Hope to see you participate in the Water Cooler Chat.

    I go by Ari. Most recently, I and my son are studying Chinese Kempo. We've been at our current school for just under a year

    Glad to have you here, Bill!

    Pekiti is an interesting art! I've never practiced with anyone from any of the Kali family of arts before. What has been your experience - how does it doevetail into your JJ training?

    Hi my name is Vicky, I have studied shotokan karate for about 5 yrs, my son studies goju ryu so most of my time is karate of some form! Alot of my friends in the karate circle also undertake jujitsu and hold a Dan grade, I would like to have a go and have been invited many times, but my size has always put me off!!

    It works quite well, as jj is short range arm and pekiti is a mostly long range art.

    Hi to all. Matt, 43 years old, a recently promoted blue belt that started jiu jitsu wanting to do an athletic activity with my teenage sons (14 & 12). Currently 263 - goal to get back to 200, to help my jiu jitsu and most importantly just live a healthy lifestyle. Looking for an "accountability buddy" to help me stay on the path!
