Colin Shubitz earned his black belt on November 5, 2005 under Sifu Rick Fowler, an eigth degree Black Belt. He is the administrator of this website.

Someone once told me that the day after you become a black belt you have to register your hands as deadly weapons. I always thought that was quite funny but it also got me thinking.

Now imagine I'm drinking at a bar one Saturday night when another patron bumps into my back causing me to spill my drink. The word 'a--hole' comes out of my mouth before I even turn and see what happened. When I do there is a man about a foot taller than me and a probably a hundred pounds heavier and he's probably had one too many because he looks really upset. His face gets close to mine and he asks me to repeat what I just said.
