Hi. I've loved chess since I was a kid and that's a long time. Chess gives people an even playing field to compete, to allow their minds to engage in combat and nobody is to blame for the win or loss but the players themselves.
I also love martial arts, particularly kobudo. I have been training for 30 years, teaching for 9 years and now I run workshops for corporate groups. It is good fun and a great way to introduce everyday people to meditation.
