Danny Black:


From an early age, I have always been fascinated by the way of the sword. My persuit has taken me through many schools of thought and practice. I have earned many ranks in martial disciplines, including Tae-Kwan-do, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu.

In addition to my martial arts, I also have many years of experience in choreography, both theatrical and practical. I have several styles influenced by various creators that I employ as often as I can when I fight. I hope to be able to incorporate what I learn at the Western Circle in more of my day to day life, and bring some semblance of balance to this constant chaos in which I live.

"To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting"
