Michael McAvoy's Martial Arts Page

Welcome to my martial arts page. I began training in the marital arts in 1992, right out of high school. Though my path in the arts has never been straight, I have been fortunate to always stumble upon instructors and schools of excellent character, quality, and care for their respective crafts.

Below are links to the areas of the martial arts I have had the most experience with, as well as some miscellaneous links. I have been a student of non-profit dojos, which are different than your local shopping plaza variety in many ways. If you have questions or comments about the styles listed below or on any other topics, please email me at mmcavoy@ejourney.com and I'll reply the best I can.
