Might as well get to know who on the board would be fellow gun nuts, and martial artists.
I've been in to the martial arts for nearly 30 years, Since 92, my focus has been Muay Thai and Kali, then in 95 I added Brazlian Jiu-jitsu to the mix. I had my first MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fight in 1993. If you don't know what "MMA" is, tune into the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) this Saturday for a clear picture...
I used to own an MMA school here in Atlanta, one in Porto Alegre Brazil, and Johannesburg South Africa. For those that are MMA geeks, you'll appreciate being in business with a Master level Brazilian BJJ guy. My partner and coach had a brother who was the CEO of Taurus Firearms, so we damn sure integrated firearms into our BJJ training!
Gun nut all the way as well, and for as long as I can remember.
I am a former Army Infantry vet, so I love any firearm that I can get my hands on. I got to play with some cool pieces while in the Army, and just as many since I got out. For a while I was building custom AR15's on the side. No big deal, they're easy to build, the art is choosing the right parts. None the less, I've infected my wife and 4 year old with firearms. My 4 year old can tell you what a three layer perimeter is.
Come into my house uninvited and it might be my four year old blowing your head off. She's ready for the zombie apocalypse! Or she'll hit you with a Thai Roundhouse in the thigh, take ya down and arm bar ya...
I'm not a doting dad or anything...
Anyways, I thought it might be cool to find the kindred spirits around here.
