I became interested in the sword 41-years ago when I was attending ASU. I quit my job, sold everything and went to Japan where the masters and the best schools are located. I enrolled in Nihon Taiiku Diagaku, Tokyo’s esteemed martial arts university.
I learned kendo, iaido, kenjutsu and I learned it well. For 14 years I ate, slept and lived my studies. All my training and certification is through the Japanese Department of Education and Recreation where everyone receives a fair and equal chance of learning Japanese swordsmanship.
During my career I have written and published five books, designed a U.S. Patent and created a complete new niche in the martial arts industry, ActionFlex weapons, which allowed participants to spar and fight in real time without injury.
