About me: I'm the founder/owner and chief instructor of the King Tiger International Pencak Silat Association. I have been involved with the martial arts for over 24 years. I am a Guru Besar (Master Teacher) of Pukulan Cimande Pusaka Pencak Silat (Indonesian Martial Arts). A Guru (Full Teacher) of Kali Silat (Filipino Martial Arts) and a NiDan (Second Degree Black Belt) in Tracy's Kenpo Karate. I was recently inducted into the U.S.A. Martial Arts Hall of Fame for "Pencak Silat - Master of the Year" and given an honorary "Doctorate of Martial Arts Philosophy, Ph.D" by the University of Asian Martial Arts Studies. I'm also a nationally certified (NCTMB) Massage Therapist and Reiki Master Teacher. Martial Arts are my passion. I have trained in many styles and with many teachers over the years. Some of them include: Herb Tanton Jr., Paul Bonner, Rick Faye, Bart Vale, Al Tracy, Dan Inosanto, Bill McGrath, Francis Fong, Rita Suwanda, Willem De Thouars, Pan Qing Fu (The Iron Fist) and Greg Alland. Although I have had many teachers over the years who have influenced my development in the martial arts, I must give special recognition to my current teacher and long time friend, Pendekar William Sanders! I have trained under Pendekar Sanders exclusively for the past 12 years in Pukulan Cimande Pusaka Pencak Silat. Under his tutiledge, my external and internal skills have grown beyond my expectations.

So, these two guys in this video adopted a lion cub back in the 70's. A year later, when Christian the lion was 185lbs, the men knew they'd have to give him up. Some people that produced the movie "Born Free" helped Christian aclomate to a life in Africa. The two men would come back to visit sometimes to view Christian from afar. The preservation society kept in touch with Christian's "parents", and told them after awhile that Christian had a lioness and a litter of cubs. They hadn't seen Christian in about 9 months. The day before the two men arrived to visit next, Christian arrived with his pride outside the preservation center. His previews owners were told that Charlie was wild now, and there was no way he'd recognize them. Here is the video of their reunion.
