Why "Kung Fu Joe"

A friend in grade school gave me the nickname, and when asked why "Joe," he said "I dunno, Kung Fu Erik just doesn't sound right." The name does not refer to anyone in particular, least of all my current primary martial arts teacher, whose name is Joe (but who I did not know when I got this nickname).

No one has ever "seriously" used this nickname. A few people would use it jokingly from time to time, and I use it as a sign-in name on various websites. But if you contact me, please call me Erik, not Kung Fu Joe, and certainly not Joe.

Interests

My Wikipedia contributions at least partly reflect my interests.

• I've gained a general interest in Wikipedia, and have made minor edits to many articles to try to make them more presentable, more in-line with Wikipedia standards, etc. In that respect, while a number of edits have nothing to do with specific interests of mine, they reflect my interest in doing my small part to help raise Wikipedia's standards.
• I've begun trying to help the Martial Arts WikiProject, offering corrections, expansions, and other contributions where I feel confident in my understanding of a topic.
• I'm offering what help I can when I see missing or incorrect information about some of my favorite musical artists, and have joined the Albums WikiProject to help.
