Those are some impressive numbers. Going by just numbers alone, you seem like you would be sufficiently strong enough to defend yourself against any assailant that comes your way. However, experience is your greatest indicator of how you will do. Having 5 years of martial training is nice, but how q...

Also, Hian was originally called Genwa san no kata; I find that something to be a bit interesting. Also, what books did you purchase from the HQ? I found a...
