Family and life have gotten the way the past 12 years but I do get some matt time now and again. You trained at a great gym!! I met Megaton while doing JKD and he is amazing. If it is the same NWMA group I trained with them years ago when they were doing it in one of the guys back yard. Not sure if it is the same group though. Here a brief bio of myself.
I have done Martial Arts most of my life, my Dad was a Judo player in his collage days. I did the standard Mc Dogo stuff until collage then started down the JKD path. I was an apprentace instructor under Jerry Mounts in Vunak's PFS system. I then was introduced to BJJ at a SBG seminar and my training changed course again. I trained with the SBG guys out of Euegene in the early to mid 90's from time to time, then I met Randy Couture and trained with his group as much as I could for the next few months. Driving clear across the state for weekend training sessions sucked but I never regretted it. I got into MMA but shattered my hand in training and after the surgeon put the pieces back together I was advised to lay off. I reinjured it while training sticks in a PFS seminar and had it put back together again. No fighting but I still train a bit...fun stuff.
Yea it sounds like the same NWMA to me. That was probably Harold, or Brian's backyard, huh? Roots in Progressive Fighting System, they went to Ricksons's BJJ seminar before the very first UFC happened.
They have come a long way since then, and are very established. I think they have at least three black belts under Megaton there now (no easy task as you know).
