Stickgrappler said...: hello Jake:

hmmm..."Jake"... boston area... Tony Blauer/PDR coach.... i've met someone ages ago... year 2000 iirc, at a Phil Dunlap seminar.... Jake S. went rolled with a catchwrestler, Jerron S., and was outweighed by at least 100 lbs. lost touch with him as he used to post on the UG forums and i've not been as active there.

i wonder are you him?

regardless... thank you for the post. IIRC, i have Tony Blauer's recommended reading list archived to my site and you beat me to it as i was going to repost some of the reco's from my archives.

thank you!

very truly yours in the MA,

Jake said...: Hey SG,

Yeah, that's me. I had actually blanked on getting tossed around by Jerron S., though I remember the seminar pretty well.

I haven't been terribly active over on the UG lately either. It got a little...repetitive.

Anyway, I stumbled across your blog somehow, and figured I'd say hi, and give you some more reading lists to post.

Keep in touch!; April 7, 2009 at 9:30 AM

Site Under Construction

Slowly but surely I've implemented changes to the site's look and functionality. I'm sure you have noticed the changes. Ecstatic that I've finally been able to successfully update my site closer more in line with my vision of it.

Not sure if it will be the final look of the site or not, but the Sojourn of Septillion Steps with respect to the site's look has already taken quite a few steps beyond the first!

I will still be endeavoring to put up information I think will benefit your martial arts training as well as your self-defense. I sincerely thank you for visiting/reading!

I remain very truly yours in the martial arts and self-defense,

~Stickgrappler
