Hi all, I'm Brian originally from New York City. I have been living in Tokyo since 2008.
My martial arts life began in the summer of 2009 when I started Wing Chun during vacation in China. Deeper practice of Wing Chun led me to the internal side of martial arts.
I practiced with Aunkai since September 2013. The group focuses solely on internal movement. It's really easy to go off on a tangent if one focuses on overcoming the practice partner during exercises. Rather, I learned to fail and make mistakes productively. Understand what doesn't work and find an alternative way. I think this is much like Aikido.
Nice to meet you all
