All styles, I began at 11 with Judo, and continued studying and practicing well into my late 40s. I have studied and practiced Judo, Tai Kwon Do, Hapkido, Tang Soo Do, Shotokan Karate, Iaido, Tai Chi Chuan, Aikido and Chi Gung. I hold a Black Belt in Tai Kwon Do. It was the Iaido (Japanese Sword Form) that generated my collection of swords.
