Hello

[Colt6731]

I would like the take the time to introduce myself. My name is Darrell Kaiser and I currently train in Manaois Escrima under Guro John McCabe. I have been training now about 6 months. Prior to my study of the FMA I trained extensively in Tang Soo Do, Chun Kuk Do, and Hakko Ryu Aiki-Jutsu, honlding black belt ranks in all three. I am currently on active duty with the US Army as a Bradley Master Gunner, being assigned to full time unit support with a national guard unit in Moses Lake, WA. Prior to this assignment I was deployed in Baghdad, Iraq with the 1st Cavalry Div. Besides anything relating to martial arts, my interests include knife collecting, handgun and rifle shooting, and spending time with my family.

Welcome! Sounds like you have quite a lot of experience.

Chun Kuk Do is Chuck Norris' art--is that correct?

[Colt6731]

Yes, thats correct, although back in the day we just called it Tang Soo Do or the Norris System. My claim to fame was I was tested by Mr Norris at the last UFAF national testing in California before the federation went to regional Dan testing. I only met him twice before leaving the UFAF for the WTSDA.
