Hello, I am Timothy Caraway. I have been writing articles, lessons and books for many years. I have spent my summers in a remote area of Alaska since I was a kid, fishing for salmon on a commercial set net site.<\/p>\n
I live on a small lake with my wife and children in the Big Lake area of Alaska. I have always had a passion for sailing and kayaking. Even in the winter,\u00a0<\/span>if the conditions are right,<\/span>\u00a0I will get out one of my homemade ice boats to sail at speeds greater than the wind!<\/span><\/p>\n Another passion of mine is martial arts and how it particularly relates to self-defense. Shoshindo, a style I developed in order to teach the most effective self defense for the average person, always assumes the attacker is bigger and stronger. My desire was to develop a truly effective martial art that would help keep my wife and children safe. I find the various ways of dealing with potential attackers fascinating, and always work to find more efficient ways of dealing with physical confrontations at any level.<\/p>\n A favorite pastime of mine is “stump hunting”. Frequently, on my solo hikes and runs, I will carry a bow and “flu flu” arrows with rubber tips to shoot at stumps and dead trees. This way I keep my archery skills, as well as my body, in top shape!<\/p>\n There are many community activities\u00a0I have been involved in<\/span> such as the Big Lake Chamber of Commerce, Special Olympics, and as a minister in the children’s prison facilities as well as children’s mental facility. I am currently involved with Palmer Toastmasters, part of an international leadership and public speaking club.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, I am Timothy Caraway.
