Christian Soldier
Orange Belt
Hey, I'm Dan. I've been doing Kenpo Karate (EPAK) for 8 years now and some knife fighting for about 4 years. I got my black belt a couple years ago after being held back for a few years because I was too young, it was well worth the wait, and it taught me how to be patient. It's not realy about the belts for me as much as it is the training and the people.
Other things about me: I'm going into my junior year of high school this year. I practice Combat shooting at least once a week. I'm a bowyer and primitive archer so I make and shoot primitive bows and arrows. I also spend a lot of my time making slings (the rock throwing kind) and slinging, I've been doing that for about 4 years and now I'm actually writing a book on that with some other slingers around the world called The Slinger's Guide. I know my way around the woods pretty well.
In Jr. High a friend and I got lost in the woods on a camp out with my church (just before this hike I had spent about an hour starting a fire with cardboard and a lighter) and I had no idea what to do so we just yelled for help untill it came. It really woke me up so I immersed myself in survival and wilderness self reliance, and now can start a fire in pretty much any weather and I have spent nights in wiki ups, lean tos, and even a snow shelter in sub zero tempatures. Still learning how little I know in woodcraft too. This immerision also started me in the bow and sling making. (Someone has a plan
)
As you may have gotten from my Username, I'm a Christian. I was saved at a young age and now my main goal in life is to grow stronger in my relationship with Jesus Christ who died for my sins and rose three days later. I want to follow Him for the rest of my life and never turn back.
I really look forward to learning more about MA on here. I find the more I learn the less I really know. I spend most of my online time on slinging.org, but being that it's summer and summer is incredibly boring, I'll have plenty of time to learn and share what I know on here.
Oh and here's my school. http://www.elickerkenpoacademy.com/
I'm the young guy in the center of the picture on the home page with all the black belts, or Mr. Dan M. on the instructor page. And My Dad, my mom, and my oldest sister are also Black belts and my older sister is a brown belt.
