Hi all
A bit about me:
People often call me Mick, because that's my name and I answer more readily to it. ;D I'm from Perth, Australia.
I started training in karate in 1997 with a shotokan-based club although they had a somewhat eclectic kata progression which alternated between goju and shotokan kata though without any of the foundation kata of either system. Still, I stayed with them until Shodan. Since then I have trained with a ShitoRyu club until I found my current teacher and mentor, under whom I regraded to Shodan in December 2004.
I have also done some training in jujutsu, reaching 6th kyu, and train in the kobudo class at the jj club and currently hold 6th kyu in that as well.
Other interests include playing guitar, and strangely the family seems to leave me alone when I do
, reading and (obviously) browsing the internet.
My nickname 'Sionnagh' is one I have used for over a decade, since BBS's were the big thing (if you don't know what a BBS is you're probably too young) and 2400 baud modem was considered pretty ok (9600 were around but expensive).
I lurk around a number of boards and even post sometimes. Or often, depending on the board.
Having said all that, you only really need to read the first two sentences.
Mick
