Academical interest:

I am what in Sweden is called a "människovetare"; which is someone who has devoted him-/herself to the complete understanding of humans.

This field of study is as wide as humanity itself, and so has brought me to study much, including behavioural science, sexology, cultural studies, linguistics, history, religion, law, warfare, criminology, sociology and biomechanics, among many other subjects, all studied as different aspects of a single subject.

This means that I am not a polyhistor, so don't mistake me for one. ^^' I'm very much a specialist.

Of course, not all have been studied to the same extent, however. My academical "areas of expertise", if I have any at all, are philosophy, rhetoric and psychoanalysis, as well as applying the connections between subjects.

Professional history and current occupation:

I am a teacher in various humanistic subjects, besides my position as instructor in martial arts, which is non-profit, and have also worked as a substitute-teacher and a private tutor.

Besides these positions, I've also had paid commissions as a writer of everything from articles and speeches to informative website-text and poetry.

Currently however, I am taking the required license to teach, at Stockholm University.

Martial arts & Other interests

I have studied and practiced traditional self-defence since -97, and have taught it regularly since -07. This includes every aspect of violence, both physical and mental, as well as many related subjects.

I study mainly under my father, though over the years I have also practiced and studied several other systems, parallel to my father's system, both competitive and with a self-defence focus, both armed and unarmed.

Beyond this I have fought practitioners from many different schools and styles, in friendly, but no rules, full-contact, light-equipment fights.

I do have other areas of skill and knowledge, perhaps mainly including being a privately educated masseur of classical ("Swedish") massage, and do of course have a number of layman fields of interest, including everything from whisky and cooking to metal-working and dog-training.
