Howdy from Sydney,

John's my name.

I found this forum just the other day, and had a poke around. Looks like there is a decent amount of intelligent discussion going on, so here I iz.

I'm a 32 year old, husband of 1, father of 2, and brother to 9 living in Sydney Australia.

I have various martial arts experience including karate, taekwondo, and hapkido. Mostly hapkido, and taekwondo (previously to brown belt, black tip).

Just last night I had my 1st Dan grading for hapkido, and after careful review of the tape....... I did bloody marvelous. I get my results in a few days, but I'm fairly confident.

My other interests are personal development, programming, flying (12 lessons in a skipper, 1 lesson in a R22 chopper), and martial arts.

So welcome me with a hand shake, a hug, a kiss or a punch to the nads.
