               The gift received from training Martial Arts is only as great as the 

dedication of the individual...

I am a student of Shotokan Karate-Do, living in Port Hardy British Columbia,

 and hold the rank of JKA Nidan.  Among the many benefits of 

martial arts training are better health  and quality of life.  Always train hard, and keep an open mind.

I have removed the forum for now due to abuse by

individuals wanting to promote things that I found offensive

and not in keeping with the values of martial arts.
