I am a twenty-two year old Smeal College of Business student at Penn State University in State College, Pa; my home town. Since this forum obviously deals with martial arts I will focus on that part of my life for the rest of this intro. I have been into martial arts my entire life and was introduced to Kali/JKD/Thai when I was ten or so. This is when I met Sifu Bill Gebhardt (an instructor under Sifu Kevin Seaman and Guro Dan) through my father and I guess that is where my journey began! I joined my Sifu in back yard work outs until the opening of The State College Martial Arts Academy and obviously the work outs moved to my Sifu’s new gym. I developed a love for Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai during my younger years and the love for kali came slowly but steadily over the years. In early high school I became extremely serious about my training and became inspired by numerous people, one being Guro Dan and another most notably being my Sifu Bill Gebhardt. Two years out of high school My Sifu Bill Gebhardt was diagnosed with cancer and his life was halted all too soon. After this the SCMAA closed for a little under a year where I studied on my own and did more Jiu-Jitsu and stick fighting then anything. After that year the gym opened back up under the same management and under the supervision of my Sifu’s Sifu, Sifu Kevin. At this time I became even more involved in my studied and feel that in the past two years I have had the most growth in my skills then any other part of my life. I am constantly learning and growing!
