Author Description

In 1968 I took my first formal martial arts class. The thrill never left. Today, martial art is my way of life. A teenage dream exceeded! I hold 8th Dan in Okinawan karate, a fruitful teaching career, and initiation as the Buddhist monk, Hayashi Tomio, that allows me to explore and share Esoteric martial teachings.
When my fist short story, Wind Warrior, got published in 1978's, another avenue for my passion opened, writing about the martial arts for children and adults. Books include; Wind Warrior: Training of Karate Champion; Smart Moves: A Kid's Guide to Self Defense; The Soul Polisher's Apprentice; The Unbreakable Board; Internal Karate, and lots of articles and short stories for the trade mags. Current articles on my favorite subject—the cultivation of Internal Power. With my passion holding strong—more to come.
