About

Welcome to my site, Black Belt Lawyer. Its dedicated to my martial arts journey. I am an attorney in Fort Lauderdale FL. Here’s my site link: Law Office of Alexander Socia, P.A.

I practice Aikido under Peter Bernath Sensei, Daitoryu under Johnny Schu Sensei and Systema under Tom Burgess and Scott Vail of Systema Boca. Our Daitoryu comes directly under Howard Popkin Sensei and Joe Brogna Sensei of Daitoryu Aikijujitsu Ginjukai. The Systema is directly under Dave and Rick Merrell.  I study all three on a mostly regular and on going basis.

This site is primarily my take about the seminars I attend. I like to write about what I have learned from the seminars because it helps me process the knowledge.

My thoughts aren’t always a correct portrayal of the seminar teaching. So, if you are reading this and want to put in your two cents, please do so. Learning is a communal effort.

God bless you,

Alex Socia
