To describe something reveals the bias of the describer. With that in mind. I'm a jaded intellectual who kept procrastinating instead of actually doing many of the things I've meant to do for years, I'm trying to change that, not always succeeding, but trying. I've moved away from the intelligentsia that I used to find so fascinating and only occasionally dabble with a single group. I now spend most of my time working on projects, reading, and working on my martial arts. I've been studying martial arts for 20 years, and have been attempting to make a 'system' of combat that is modern, functional, and yet, isn't just a matter of being more enduring than your opponent, but being more skilled to the point where you can reliably feel safe as opposed to most systems at the moment, where it always seems to be a trade. I think trading is unreliable, and there are some things you just can't take reliably and expect to continue. I've got a heavy background in aikijujutsu and Taijutsu(amoung others), some of the original mixed martial arts in my opinion(they are full range styles dealing with unarmed and weapons from before the time when everything split up into ranges for sporting purposes). I've done some MMA work, and think it's great as a sporting dueling style. I've got an interest in physics and applied math(though I'm bad at both), and am attempting to studying german from computer programs. If you made it through all this. Hi. I'm Damion. Nice to meet you. Hope you'll say Hi back.
