Note from Master Newhall
Hello! Welcome to my blog! As the blog indicates, I am a martial artist. I do many things relating to the topic. I teach, I learn, and yes, I write. In fact, I write a lot. I write so much, I decided to start a blog. Here I post my writing on everything martial arts. From fun facts, to how to’s, to philosophy. Whatever you like, I’ve got! If I don’t have it yet, you can always message me! I love sharing my knowledge, so if you’re curious to know something, just comment on a post or email me! Whichever works better for you.
I hope you enjoy my writing, and have a wonderful day!
