I have been a computer geek and martial artist since the age of 8. I quickly tried Judo, then Wado-Ryu Karate up to 2nd kyu and then, after a pause of a few years, I switched to Aikido (10 years now). I quickly trained in Iaido Toho, the Iaido school of Aikido. I also tried Ju Jutsu for one year, which was immensely fun.
