Woof All,
A new guy here getting started in FMA, or stick fighting in general. I've been a long time lurker on this board deciding whether or not it was for me and hope to start utilizing DBMA videos in my training once I pin down one to start with. (I of course would like them all, but money is tight right now.) I come from Minnesota where there at least two good teachers within an hour's drive- Greg Nelson and Rick Faye but I can never seem to work out my schedule to drive to Minneapolis on a consistent basis. (in fact Guro Dan Inosanto is in town today and if I didn't work weekends I would have loved to make that seminar!)
My 37th birthday is next week and my ultimate goal is to attend a Gathering someday before I am 40, so I am taking the "first step" towards this goal by committing to training. My next step will be to make it to a DBMA seminar and/or a private with Guro Crafty within the next year. I have an eye on either joining or starting a training group to stay motivated.
Anyway, I ramble- so I just wanted to say hi and that I look forward to joining the discussions here.
Chad
