Intro and a question about becoming an affiliate

[Ryan Brick]

Hello and welcome!

If I'm ever in GTA I'll come visit, make sure you make the trip out to Montreal to train with Louis also Herzog shouldn't be that far away either for you to drive.

Check the map to see if any Ronins are close to where you are moving.

Hey Isaac, thank you very much for the good wishes....I'm all for hard work. I have learned from experience that hard work does pay off. One example is University, where I did study Philosophy as well as pre-Law. My main focus was in ethics and classical philosophy. I thought I wanted to be a lawyer at one point.....

While my philosophy degree never conferred on me the powers to get paid to sit at home and think all day, I did take away some very important theoretical concepts that have always stuck with me, and I continue to apply in a practical way every day.

If anyone is down to philsophize with me on any number of issues, please don't hesitate to write or invite me to the party. Philosophy and knowledge is meant to be shared. I love talking about martial arts and it's union with philosophy.

Hey Ryan, thanks brother! I'm going through a lot in terms of changing scenery for myself. But if you ever roll through Ontario, make sure you take the time to roll in Ontario. I'd be more than happy to be a guide for you and your people.

I can't find the map of Ronins in my area. Are you referring to the list of hotboxes and it's respective leaders? So far I can't find anything in North York, except for the guys at openmat, but that's a membership based gym....I'm already paying my last dollar to keep myself in Thai boxing.

Peterborough is 1 - 1.5 hours from Toronto if youre looking.

Oh and where in Northern Ontario you headed? I got a great friend in Sudbury to roll with as well.

Hey Stew, thanks for the reply. Parry Sound is where I'm planning on moving. My brother and I are longtime martial artists. We have seen the need for a training academy in that town. Much of the youth is bored, and getting into trouble. We not only want to offer awesome martial arts combatives and conditioning, but a leadership curriculum that gives these kids a chance at making it out of the small towns in that area.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm down to make a trip out to Peterborough once a week from North York. Please DM me with details on how we can get this ball rolling, no pun intended.

I never understood how you could advertise for Ninjutsu. Isn't that s**t supposed to be a secret? lol.....I don't part with my money that easily. But thanks for the heads up AG. I'll make that plan 'Z' (pronounced 'zed', not 'zee').
