This page is to inform and give you some idea of my experience escorting and guiding people to and around the Asia. I have travelled to Costa Rica and other countries in South America, but spent more time in Asia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and especially the Philippines. I lived in various parts of Asia for extended periods of time to train.

First of all, I am a Martial Arts expert with many real fighting experiences throughout my life! I'm a master of hand weaponry, such as knives, Guns, sticks, and swords. I have extensive training in Chinese Gung Fu / Kung Fu, Thai Boxing, Indonesian Pentjak Silat and Filipino Kali, Eskrima, Arnis. I have knowledge and experience with many other systems as well. Some of my best training was by instructors in the USA, many original students under Bruce Lee. Bruce and his partner Dan Inosanto were geniuses. Those training methods and the selected knowledge were not only superior to all others known, but also opened up my thinking and experience to many other systems. It gave me experience and insight into the best elements of 26 different systems. I found it important to learn certain systems directly from instructors Bruce or Dan had learned them from. So as training became more available here in the USA from them, I studied more truly effective elements done the way they did them in their seminars and training camps.

Through this contact and the relationships that developed I was invited to their countries by some of these instructors to train with them and others in their groups. That's exactly what I did, moreso as the years went by.

I have never done a training trip to anywhere in Asia in which I stayed, lived and trained there for less then two months and ranging up to four or five months at a time. The first trip I had planned to bring a close friend and instructor of mine but it did not work out financially for him. From that trip on, I started bringing people who had the desire to train and could afford it. Usually they would give me a little something for my efforts, contacts and introductions made. It has grown ever since. But things there keep changing and so has the reasons for people going!

I have experienced and learned many things and witnessed a lot of changing over those years travelling to different parts of Asia and South America. I am offering and eager to share many of those things with you.

Below are just a few photo examples of me on training trip's from the 1980s and into the Millennium!

Note below: Martial Arts pictures of me training with famous Grand Masters of their styles in Asia!

On these trips mentioned, I have acted as a body guard, escort, guide, trainer, and drilling partner in Martial Arts there. I have aided clients in doing business there, investments and real estate matters. I have contacts in the Philippines and other Asian countries, and I can arrange many things, including the making of certain products while on the trip. I can also arrange instruction in Martial Arts training with many of the Masters / Grand Masters I trained with.

It can be business but so many times these days clients are US men who want to go there to meet the pen-pal they have been writing, calling and chatting with through internet messengers. I have made many introductions on these trips such as for clients to girls in passing they wanted to meet, whether that was in shopping malls, stores, bars, or elsewhere. It is often easier for me to talk to a Filipina you see and are attracted to, then for you to do it! I'm confident, understand them, and won't hesitate. She will usually act shy and may not meet you without an introduction (it's the Filipino way)! Understanding their culture, the way they think, and their behavior can be very important to you. What island and city you're on will also effect what to do and how you approach as well! There are many differences in the language from county to county much less island to island in the Philippines. There are 7,000!

From the family and town I grew up in (1950-60s), experiences in Chicagoland as a landlord of many apartment buildings to the streets of Chicago and the streets of other countries in my travels I have had many real life street encounters. Using empty hands and hand held weapons, I've been shot at, I've been in knife fights (& other sharp objects), but I always managed to come out of it uninjured or with injuries small enough to continue my trips.

I will be glad to show documents, photos, videos and other proof of these facts if asked to do so.
