Martial arts, martial arts, and sometimes even martial arts. I specialize in the boxing and weapon systems of southeast Asia, such as Wing Tzun (Cantonese boxing), Muay Thai (Kingdom of Siam military kickboxing), Latosa Escrima (Filipino weapons and boxing, under Grandmaster Rene Latosa), as well as offering instruction in Western Boxing, Grappling Arts, and Fencing. I'm also into cooking, red wine, yoga, lifting weights, reading, movies, playing music, friends, current events and politics....
Drive By Truckers is my new favorite. I like everything from Chopin to Men At Work, from Iron Maiden to Robert Johnson. Just saw Tom Waits the other night, great show.
Conan The Barbarian, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Princess Bride, The Count of Monte Cristo, Death Duel of Kung Fu, A Fish Called Wanda, The Dark Crystal...
Not much.
