On the night of November 11, 1996, a dream of 32 years was realized by the Grand Opening of The Dojo - Traditional Japanese Martial Arts, in Denton, Texas (just north of Dallas and Ft. Worth).
I teach Muso Jikiden Eishinryu Iaido, in which I am a nanadan and have studied for 20 years, 10 of which were in Japan under swordmaster, Noboru Yamashita; and Uechiryu karate, in which I am a godan (5th degree black belt) and have studied for 33 years, one of which was under the great master, Seiyu Shinjo. Please join me.
I graduated with a Master of Arts in Teaching from the School for International Training, and I am currently on the faculty of the University of North Texas in Denton,Texas (IELI), teaching ESL, English as a Second Language.
I would like to thank the three people (and one dog) who sacrifice time with me to allow me to pursue my dream. Thank you to my family,Denise, Maggie and Travis...... oh, yeah, and Buster!
