Greetings everyone.

It is my hope that this meetup group will be a good oppertunity for Martial Artists (beginners through to experts alike) to exchange knowledge in order to help each other to learn and improve in Traditional JuJitsu as well as being open to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) training and other Martial Art styles. I may sometimes arrange JuJitsu & MMA seminars, as well as offering regular ongoing training sessions if there is enough interest.

Allow me to give an introduction about myself along with some of my Martial Arts experience;

About myself:
-----------------
My name is Don McPherson. I'm originally from Canada but now living in Hong Kong. I've trained since my youth in a variety of Martial-Art systems and have continued to be a dedicated practitioner. Some of my rankings and certifications include: A member of the World Kobudo Federation, a member of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Association, a member of the BushidoKai Academy, completed Level 1 Shoot-Wrestling Instructor training, a Certified Instructor of JuJitsu, 3rd Degree Black Belt Jujitsu: Certified Black Belt in YoShinRyu JuJitsu with the Dai Nippon Butokukai (Japan Great Martial Arts Virtues Organization) in Japan and Certified Black Belt in Combined Jujitsu Arts with the World Kobudo Federation.

About my Martial Arts Experience:
-------------------------------------- ----
Currently close to 25 years of training in the Martial Arts. Over the years I have cross-trained in a variety of Martial Art styles and having the good fortune to study under a number of great Instructors (some well-known, some less known but still experts in their Arts). My "Root Art" that I have spent the most time training in is Traditional Japanese JuJitsu (based on the YoShinRyu "Willow Spirit Style" system). Some other styles of Martial Arts I have trained in include: Karate, Aikido, Judo, Eskrima / Arnis, Jeet-Kune-Do, Shoot-Fighting, Shoot-Wrestling, Kick Boxing (Western and Thai styles), Western Boxing, Tai Chi Chuan, Tai Chi "Push Hands" and BJJ. In Hong Kong in I teach group classes as well as private lessons. The main focus of the curriculum I teach is Traditional Japanese JuJitsu as well as drawing upon my other MA experience to include some MMA techniques to make the overall system more well-rounded. In my years of being involved in the Martial Arts I have also competed in numerous Martial Arts Competitions.
