| Ever
since I was a child I have been fascinated by the martial
arts. As a young child, I practiced judo. As a
teenager, I practiced the Okinawan style of Shinto-Ryu
karate-do. Then, since the age of 17, I have been
practicing Aikido. The practice of martial arts has
allowed me to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually
healthy. |

Languages
Being a native of
Chile, I am fluent in the Spanish language. In addition,
as a result of having lived in Montreal, Canada, I am able to
understand and read French but my speaking abilities are
atrocious! I plan to re-learn French shortly.
I've enjoyed the study of languages, and for several years, I
was fortunate to have studied Mandarin and Japanese. I am
presently in need of learning Samoan to be able to communicate
with my wife's Samoan family. |
