I am Benjamin, a student and honorary teacher for the Western Circle or Swordfighters. I started my sword training in 2001 as a true student to the organization's founder, Gad. Like any martial art, the discipline and confidence I've gained through my training has had a profound impact on my life. Since I have joined, I have been a college student, Air Force officer, police academy graduate, and teacher. In every endeavor I have undertaken, my training has helped me perform better than I would have without it. I have met many unique and honorable individuals in the WCoS, many of which have become close friends over the years. Goal: I am currently training to take my Crimson Chain Test (L5) in wood and Red Rope (L4) in steel. I am working on becoming a fully endorsed sensei and re-open my class in Northern California. Favored Weapons: One handed broadsword, two handed broadsword, hand and a half cut and thrust. "Let your yes be yes and your no be no."
