Swinging by some old posts and saw this thread...... might as well update:
Since my last post on this thread I've received my 5th degree black belt promotion in Nihon Ryu Goshin Jutsu. Which means after 22+ years in the martial arts I am now a Shihan/Master Instructor.
Total rankings:
5th degree black belt in Nihon Ryu Goshin Jutsu
3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo (ITF's Chon-gi style)
3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo (WTF's Taegeuk style)
3rd degree black belt in Juko-Ryu Aiki Inyo Toho (Sword Art)
1st degree black belt in Juko-Ryu Aiki Inyo Ki-Jutsu (combat ki)
To God be the glory for keeping my bones intact..... thus far ;-)
Thanking him also for getting me through the Michigan Tough Mudder event this past Saturday. 12 mile run with 20 obstacles designed by British special forces. Intense day!
Very impressive!
Hope you never have cause to actually use it to protect yourself
or a loved one though.
