.....It's excitin'. Thanks for the posting it here.

Your assessment of the simulations isn't accurate. Range refers to "distance" from the opponent aka: "Mai". Bow and Arrow, is long range, knife is close range. It would be an accurate statement if...

How about Final Fantasy Pants?

I've remedied that problem. Anyone care to assist? ;)

Here's the link to those "pants" on the company website. They have a story attached regarding the samurai and conscription which I wondered, "what is the connection with this and these pants?"....

I agree with her. No, I have ABSOLUTELY no intention of buying them. I posted that to be sure that I hadn't missed something. The hakama were worn to protect against things like thorns and small...

Can anyone confirm whether these pants and the description of how they were made and worn or is this nothing but a martketing scheme?

A debate came up in regards to where a batter's power come from and it eventually turned into where does the power come from when one kicks.

My argument is that it comes from the ground and...

As I understand it, a Shidoin is a fully certified instructor of Aikido, just as a Fukushidoin is a certified Assistant Instructor. Shihan is a rank given based on time.

Prepare to be ripped...

Nothing on that site works!

That's not accurate. What style are you referring to?

Thanks Tim, anyone know the requirements for the Eastern Region, or are they the same? :wave:

I'm getting ready to begin studying Aikido with the intention of eventually teaching and running a dojo (however many years that will be in the future).

Can anyone tell me what are the USAF...

Ok, that almost went over the newbie's head. Take it easy :D.

What dojo do you go to regularly? When did you start? I have a relative by marriage who's brother-in-law is a student of Yamada...

Looks like I'll be going to Park Slope. How long have you been studying/practicing Aikido?

Picking nits here, when did Hakko Ryu become a Koryu? It was founded WELL after the beginning of the Meiji Period. If this is a Koryu being founded in 1941, then Aikido should have the same...

Ultimately, you aren't trying to injure your friend. So no matter what the technique is, you're going to stop short, apply minimal pressure or release for concern of injuring him. Just like you...

Don't, just don't add anything else in that area. Budo is part of Japan's history and culture. Leave it as it is, just fix the spelling of Battoho :mst:

Huh :confused:

Just curious, anyone know what happened to Carbon Echo? They used to have nice video clips of Yamada Sensei and Donovan Waite Sensei.

I asked because they were nearby and yet, I can't find a listing for them anywhere. Yet, they are open and have students, who are they affiliated with?

Anyone heard of this school in Brooklyn? The name is Gye Nyame Ryu and the head instructor is Wiilliam Battle. Can't find this place listed on any Aikido related site (ie: Aikido Journal, etc.) nor...

Huh? :confused: :confused: :confused: :smash:

Thank you but, is there any special training program required for this certification? I see that there are certain dojos in the Western Region of the USAF that have these courses, but are they...

I'm thinking about taking Aikido and although some will say this question is a little early to ask, what are the requirements for Fukushidoin and Shidion in the US Aikido Federation? Are there any...
