M.C. Escher   ~ Cubic space  division
     As a boy Jason was legally adopted by his kung fu teacher.  He studied many years, and was tested in the tradition of the time: the sash test.
     The sash test was a ritual combat endeavor in which the winner was signified by the removal of the sash of his opponent by incapacitation, stealth, or other.  He failed once and passed the second time.
     In 1992 in response to his direct challenge.  Jason went to Los Angeles to challenge Steven Seagal to a fight in his Dojo. He proved reluctant, but there were other takers.  One, Royce Gracie, and his dynasty took him up on a challenge, which begat a rematch, which begat an invitation to fight in Japan.
     It was his career in Japan which cultivated him to a higher dimension.  It forced Jason to first excel at the popular techniques of the time. It also began the rebirth of his core techniques, five animal kung fu, which he was able to transpose into aikido as a less physically demanding and more natural version.
