Okay so the wife had a conference in Portland, Oregon and while it was a short trip it was really, really fun.  I really get why so many people have always said to me that I need to go see the Pacific Northwest.  While we only saw a little this trip.  What we did see was simply awesome.  From Mt. Hood to the Gorge to the Water Falls there simply was a some beautiful scenery.  The city of Portland has a really cool vibe to it.  Lots of people out walking around, lots of sights to see like the Japanese Garden and the Rose Garden, VooDoo Donoughts and more.  Bottom line I cannot wait to go back and train with some of my friends in the area.  When it comes to martial arts there are a lot of really good practitioner’s in the Pacific Northwest.  From Stevan Plinck to Dan Anderson to Kelly Worden, Rory Miller, Bobbe Edmonds and the list goes on.  Most of all I have good friends like Georgia nd Kim Ketchmark there as well.  Georgia is also well-known Hwa Rang Do practitioner too!  So what are you waiting for go out and explore the Pacific Northwest if you are like me you won’t be disappointed!
