Episode 153 – Missing the Mark and the Regretful Ronin

Guest Instructor Andrew Adams joins us in a discussion about the High Mileage martial artist.

Andrew began his martial arts career in high school, training in Goju Ryu Karate. After college and a subsequent move, he trained in Shotokan for 16 years, earning his 3rd Degree Black Belt in 2010.

He currently trains in Shorin Ryu Karate, holding the rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt, as well as a 1st Degree in Bill Wallace’ Superfoot Kickboxing.

He is also the producer and cohost of the Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio Podcast.

He is a hired clinician around New England and is excited to share his knowledge with (and learn from) all the students he interacts with.
