Hello everybody, my name is Gerard and have been reading loads of stuff on the website and I have lots still to get through. Just thought I would say hello as a new member. I am 56 years old and have been doing martial arts for about 22 years now and have, for the last year or so, been reading lots of combative-type material and have been following Dennis on his YouTube review and instructional videos. My great passion is self-protection and look forward to learning loads here. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences everyone and hope I can contribute myself.
