8th Dan Okuto Ryu
7th Dan Nanto Ryu
5th Dan Cento Ryu

Practiced for a short time the Kame Ryu (or Tartle style), but gave it up coz I had problems in channeling the energy to deliver the Kamehameha strike.
 
Chito-Ryu Traditional Karate from 1990-1996 (Blue Belt)

(Taikyoku?) Taiyoku-Jiu-Jitsu Kickboxing: (Muay-Thai, Jiu Jitsu and Kyokushinkai for the most part) from 1996-2001 (Brown Belt)

Tiger Taekwan Do under Simon Chung for 6 months during 2002 (Yellow Belt)

Kanzen Kempo for a couple of months in 2002

Breifly re-joined The Honbu Dojo (Chito-Ryu) when I moved to toronto (2007)

My grandfather taught me some boxing and russian sambo growing up.
My father taught me to wrestle. My mom tried to teach me yoga but I was never interested.
Currently I'm studying JKD with my freinds Dez and Mike.
I'm interested in taking Choy Lay Fut and Wing Chun in the near future.
...and Shorinji Kempo.
 
Started in "Korean Karate" in 1983 which quickly changed to taekwondo when a new instructor from Korea took over the school and have done taekwondo ever since.

Also learned some hapkido and am moderately proficient with the short stick, long stick and sword. I like weapon forms a lot because they're quite different from taekwondo and a nice break from routine.
 
Current Arts
1. Taekwondo since 2002
2. Hapkido since the Holidays
3. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 4 months

Past Arts
1. Karate - Chose not to continue with it because I didn't feel comfortable with the teaching methods
2. Muay Thai - Too Aggressive for me
 
Used to do Aikido, Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu, Yang Style Tai Chi, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu Kenjitsu...teacher had a motorcycle accident and quit teaching.

Starting taekwondo and danzan ryu jujitsu next week.
 
I have practiced Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan since 1983-5th Dan.
I also hold a 7th Kyu in Aikido Yoshokai.
