My other passion, apart from literature, is martial arts. I am the holder of a Black Belt, 4th, degree in Nanbudo, a Japanese martial art that aims at creating and maintaining psychophysical harmony in its adepts... I am one of the national trainers in this discipline and I have participated in two world championships, the first in Spain, Playa De Aro in 1991, and the second in Paris, Bagneux, in 1996, during which I won a gold medal in combat... Incidentally I was captain of the Cameroon national team...

I have won countless national tournaments in combat (Ju Randori) and in free forms (katas).

I will be posting pictures and updates about my martial arts activities in this section which I will call "Tatami". The Tatami is historically a woven straw mat used as flooring in traditional and modern Japanese-style homes. In martial arts, it refers to the contest mat usually measuring three by six feet and three inches thick, on which Katas and Kumites (sparring exercises) are executed. This will be my online Tatami.

Welcome my virtual Dojo (literally "place of the Way" or "place of enlightenment" - a training hall or gymnasium where Japanese martial arts are practiced).

Hi CACTUS,
Spotted your website as I was browsing throught the internet in search for Nanbudo links. It is a great website that you have there. What you call "the other dimension" is truly the only dimension I knew of you. We never had time to talk about anything else than kaiten geris, randoris and katas in those years when, arguably, you had the fastest mae geri in the country. For many years we shared a deep passion about Nanbudo and it does me good to know that you are doing fine and that you know how to balance life: a top athlete with a great intellect. In visiting your homepage I discovered new dimensions.

Take care,
J.M.
