WHAT I LIKE
Eating, sleeping, teaching, learning from a good teacher, and playing with my sons.
MY MOST CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE
Climbing Mt. Rainier
MY MOST REWARDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Persuading Neneth Yago to marry me.
MARTIAL ARTS ORGANIZATIONS
IOGKF
MY MARTIAL ARTS
I am a student of Okinawan Goju-ryu karate-do (IOGKF). I spend some time on ju-jutsu as well, and have dabbled in a few others things, but Goju is the center of my training.
ABOUT ME
Depending on who you ask, I'm either a religion professor who teaches karate on the side, or a karate teacher who happens to teach at Susquehanna University. Fortunately, I have been able to connect them with my interest in the connection between Zen Buddhism and Japanese budo. More important than any of that, however, is my family - my wife and two boys.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
Touching hot stoves, people who kick puppies, publicly revealing personal things about myself.

He did win two iron crosses during the war, one of them first class.

Is your interest primarily in WW1?

My interest is History in any form it takes, However most of my research goes to WW1, WW2, and the Cold War era.

Your Grandfather was in the German Imperial Cavalry. It is very rare for me to hear of Cavalry, if i may ask do you know what unit he was in?

Dear JKMann,

We appreciate your understanding in our attempts to prevent spammers/scammers on MAF.

Today, despite our efforts 2 slipped in and sent over 650 messages in a 5 hour period after staff members checked the site.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Hello JKMann,

Lately you may have noticed that you may have received e-mail messages advising that you have a private message on MAF.

When you log on the messages are gone. This is because the ADMIN and Staff folks have identified the sender as a Spammer and have deleted their profile and messages.

Most of these messages give you an off-site e-mail address to contact the spammer. Once they get to know you they give you a sad story where they ask you to send them money.

Because we value your privacy, the MAF folks will diligently continue to keep this a safe site for everyone.
