This is a short summary of my skills that I trade with. Expanded some sections underneath with some links.
KARATE Currently I still practice karate and have been doing it for over 20 years. I am thankful to all my senseis for training me. Read more underneath in the Karate section or go go directly to my karate page.Karate Page
I love to play JAZZ GUITAR and I am here also quite indebted to my teachers on TrueFire and my brother who gave me a great birthday present and introduced me to the TrueFire Guitar Courses Platform. I really enjoy this!
BOOK RESTORATION. I am grateful to DS. Dr. Jordaan for teaching me and setting me up initially to the whole art of restoring old books especially Bibles (and even paperbacks and making them hardcover books).
I design and code WEBSITES and publishing it on the internet.
Fond of WRITING and especially the wrting of journals (with reference to the revolution of the popular journaling thing that is happening all over the world). I just love it!
ART AND OIL PAINTNGS - at heart everything I do is an art. I have been an artist and sold many artworks.
