Hi Reggie. Sorry this is 3 months late. I live just east of Tokyo in about the same area as the MTW team led by Dan Iverson. I’m actually thinking of taking aikido in my neighborhood. After all Ive been living over here for 2 years. I might as well take advantage of thousands of years of martial arts experience huh? If you can learn how to swing a sword in Orlando, I can learn how to avoid a sword stroke in Tokyo Isn’t it cool that they teach how to use the sword and how to defend against it when you are unarmed in two different disciplines?

Will, I totally forgot you are in Japan. My bad. I would have loved to connect … for next time, just where are you?

Hi Reggie. It’s cool you could come and check out Japan. I climbed Fuji in about 5.5 hours from the fifth stage. I heard that marines stationed in Japan tackle the whole 10,000 or so feet from the bottom in training. My pastor over here was trying to explain how his kendo and Christian worldview mesh, but I didn’t know what he was talking about. I’ll just stick to surfing.

Thanks, Dave … and, wow, your website looks cool! I know I gotta get back if for no other reason than Bob Elder and I claimed Mt. Fuji (if it actually exits … it was fogged in the day we drove up to the perma-frost line) in the name of the Conch Republic … and we need to take possession. Reggie

Sounds like you had a great adventure there. Don’t let us wait to long before you give us the other reasons…not that we need any more because these are already enough to get me inspired and get me a ticket
