I started martial arts training back in about 1984. I was 16 at that time. Started in Shotokan. I studied a few different styles of martial arts which were Tae Kwon Do, Chinese KickBoxing, Jukaido and Kenpo. During that timeframe I did a fair amount of point tournaments and did quite well in the Kumite.
About in 2001, I got talked into instructing again, and at that time I was tought Shotokan in I had recieved a black belt in. The guy that talked me into instructing again had a boxing back ground and who was supposed to be helping out. But he was a bit of talk when it came to actually doing something. But, his sister had alot of boxing back ground and she got involved with the program. At that time we were training out in the yard with 12 kids.
Eventually we found a building and the owner let us use the building for free. And with the boxing training techniques, and from my past experience of training with the combinations of weight training and karate and the issue of me being tought a americanized shotokan and couldn't advance any further unless I restarted in a traditional art. I desided just to revamp my kata's. Make it more to the way I actually fight and whats more natural to me. Then I added the extra training I allways did out side of the regular 2 days a week shotokan training. Then put together many routines for the kick boxing part and boxing part and created my own style of kickboxing called "WarriorRage KickBoxing. In which, I also wrote and published a book on my style of fighting.
