I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Joe. I love DOGS...have 2 (a Beagle named Sydney & a Chihuahua named Madonna). I love to LAUGH and keep a good sense of humor! Fascinated by muscles on a woman (strange...maybe; but the fact remains...lol). My PASSION is martial arts: JEET KUNE DO...BOXING...ARNIS/KALI/ESCRIMA...WING CHUN...SILAT...KRAV MAGA. I like Latin & Ballroom Dance (MAMBO/ CHA-CHA/ SWING/ TANGO)! I am a spiritual person (was raised Catholic & once considered the priesthood)& look for the underlying CORE TRUTHS behind various religious beliefs...just like I seek out the fundamentals of motion & body mechanics that drive effective techniques in ALL martial arts! (meaning all religions have merit if they help you respect yourself, respect other people & all of creation!) I am in my mid-40's, never married, never had children...may be too late now, (so I'll just have to live with that)...... B.S. degree: SUNY at Buffalo; Naval Officer Candidate School, NETC, Newport, RI..........Finally: I want to go skydiving again...to build up my nerve,I'll need to tackle some of the high-tech roller coasters/thrill rides at Seaworld/ Busch Gardens/ Disney Parks (I admit that I've avoided them lately...LOL)!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm attracted to women who have muscles! (However,I am NOT a "fetish"guy...I see these women as ATHLETES.) I respect women martial artists who are capable fighters. (Women who are good with their fists and can kick butt if attacked are admirable!)I would enjoy meeting women who like "touch" dancing (as in "Dancing With The Stars" TV show...LOL)...Ballroom/Latin Dancing is romantic! They should have a good sense of humor as well (as I do NOT want to fight with a woman who has powerful muscles and/or can punch me out...OUCH...LOL) HEY, TOOTS !!!.............................MOST IMPORTANTLY,of course, I am always interested in meeting and making friendships with all fellow MARTIAL ARTISTS (of any style)...the core principles of martial technique generally remain the same in most all of the styles...just variations in expressing them in the various martial arts/styles of the world!

My Blog

Best not to dance with the devil...and here's to those red birds flying high in Tampa!
