If you are wondering why Gary’s bio is currently a blank void, it is because he is currently training in a remote mountain temple where the Wi-Fi signal has been replaced by spiritual enlightenment. Gary believes that a true martial artist should be a shadow, and posting a biography feels suspiciously like revealing his secret techniques to the enemy. Every time he sits down to draft his achievements, he accidentally karate-chops his keyboard in a fit of muscle memory, resulting in a series of nonsensical characters. He maintains that if you really want to know who he is, you should just show up for his class and see if you can land a jab. Writing a paragraph about himself feels like a “non-combat” activity, and Gary is strictly focused on combat readiness at all times. He has also warned us that his autobiography is currently being etched into a stone tablet, which is proving to be a logistical nightmare for our web guy to upload. Gary doesn’t use social media or professional bios because he prefers his opponents to be surprised by his footwork rather than his resume. Rumor has it that he is waiting for a legendary sensei to grant him permission to use the “Enter” key on a computer. In the meantime, he remains the enigma of the dojo, preferring to let his roundhouse kicks do the talking for him. Until he finishes his meditative study on the digital arts, his bio will remain as elusive as his chin during a sparring session.
