Eclectic Martial Arts

This channel logs most of my daily workouts with Wu Trin Do, an eclectic system of martial art, developed back in the 1990's before the term MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) became popular. Initially, this channel was used as a convenient way to get lessons/excercises out to former students who are no longer local to me. Now, I also see it as a way to chronicle and preserve some of my maneuvers for my kids, and future students. If any one thing here can help, add or assist your current training endeavors, then I would consider my efforts worthwhile. https://www.zazzle.com/wu_trin_do_formal_t_shirt-256515726718202274 https://www.zazzle.com/wu_trin_do_casual_t_shirt-256621289643798968 zazzle.com/wtd_long_sleeve_shirt-256303342202664486
