Welcome to The Modern-Day Martial Artist, a website dedicated to martial arts history, personal training, lineage research, self-defense, and the study of different martial arts systems.

This site brings together my martial arts journey, instructor lineages, tournament experience, training ideas, and research into traditional and modern martial arts. It is part personal archive, part research project, and part training resource for students, instructors, and anyone interested in the martial arts journey.

About Me The About Me section is where visitors can learn more about my personal martial arts journey.

This part of the site includes my biography, martial arts qualifications, lineage and family tree, and tournament and competition results. It gives visitors a closer look at my training history, ranks, instructors, competition background, and the systems that helped shape me as a martial artist.

This section is also where I share how different arts and instructors have influenced my path, from traditional training and self-defense to sport martial arts and modern cross-training.

The Martial Arts Systems Info section explores the different martial arts systems connected to my training, research, and personal interests.

This section includes information on systems such as American Ju-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Dragon Kenpo, Chinese Kenpo, DFA Kali, Taekwondo, Karate, Ryu Kyu Kempo, Shorinji Ryu Jujitsu, Sport Karate, Nunchaku systems, and other martial arts traditions.

Each page is designed to give visitors a better understanding of the history, training methods, major instructors, lineage connections, and unique qualities of each martial art. Some pages are based on personal experience, while others include deeper research into the people, organizations, and history behind the systems.

The Resources section is where visitors can find extra martial arts content, useful links, blog posts, and ongoing updates.

This section includes the Training Blog, martial arts links, and other resources related to self-defense, martial arts history, martial arts movies, training drills, sport martial arts, weapons, forms, sparring, grappling, and more.

The Training Blog will be one of the most active parts of the website. This is where I will post new articles, personal reflections, video updates, training ideas, research notes, and discussions about anything related to martial arts.
