Jon:



I am a swordfighter because I believe that honor is made up of many desirable qualities. My time in the WCoS has shown me that sword fighting gives many opportunities to acquire honor and practice honor, as well as practice the sword on a more than proficient style.

I am about 5' 8" and fight with a katana of normal length. I was born in California's Bay Area on 9/17/8-. My martial arts background is based on a style that trains to end a fight in one blow. I try to bring this idea through my sword fighting as one cut, rather than a blow. I consider myself a straight offense fighter.

Aside from studying the sword, I work, attend college and reside at home. I enjoy philosophy and games of strategy.
