I've lurked this forum for a long time and really enjoyed it.
I registered to add something to a few threads I read over the holidays that I found interesting.
I'm Matt Powell - not to bore you to tears - I started in the Russian Martial Art community studying ROSS, then moved to Kadochnikov system (among others), and then moved on with a number of students to develop our own system in the US that we call Pramek.
I live in Atlanta, have two dogs, a wonderful house and girlfriend, and I like pizza a lot.
