| Biography’s were left to be done in any fashion I felt necessary. For the "Founders" and "Board" It is almost expected just to be a collections of lists. For the teaching staff I decided early on that I would want you to develop a "feel" for the individual and a "curiosity" about the group, rather than just to know information. Born this date, has that many children, works at these jobs is often plenty of information that tells you nothing. These are a unique collection of individuals who’s outside activities range from advanced culinary skills, to Nintendo Masters, Old world historians, to hand painted ceramics, automobile racing, the music industry, and the development and creation of incense. Deep family evolvement, historically correct western shootouts, Religious devotees, full tongue wagging lead guitar riffmaster longhairs. Still, somehow we have all been gathered and deposited here. Not in spite of everything that we could call different, but because of what we share. How unusual. I had promised myself that I would not mention the quality of teaching by any individual. Teaching is what we specialize in. Our teachers are at a higher than average level to begin with. To say that they are exceptional would be redundant. However, as we move towards the end of the list I begin to become "uncomfortable" because I feel restricted writing within the criteria I created. A little further observance explains that is because these are all the newer Black Belts. I’ve only known some of them ten years or so. Grandmaster E.A. Fuzy |
