Still going through it.
thankfuly yours,
Thanks a lot. That would be wonderful. I would make the search myself but I do not even know a keyword to start with it.
Yours,
Can anyone comment on the symbol below?

I usually am told that it "represents Okinawan Karate". Nevertheless so far I did not get any consistent...
As mentioned above, I always thought a simple weapon in the shape of a nunchaku could have appeared in differet cultures in different times and independently from one another.
Anyway, does...
Thanks a lot for your contributions. My apologies for not having returned to thank you guys before. Have been away from e-budo for a while.
I am right now having look at what you have pointed...
dear e-budoka,
I know this topic appears from time to time in this and many other virtual and non virtual martial arts environment.
What I have witnessed was during a female's -70kg (I think)...
Hi folks,
It has been a while since I last poseted anything on e-budo. So, if I am breaking any rule or putting this thread on the wrong section, my apologies.
I have been practicing Shorin Ryu...
Thanks!
I have written to them. The club's captain has been very kind and invited me to go there. I probably will. The distance will not allow me to visit the dojo regularly though.
Also I was...
Leonardo, are you still around?
So, earlier today I have seen something that reminded me of this thread. Although I see the policemen on horses carrying swords quite often I still did not know...
Dear all,
I live in Brazil but will be located in Bristol, UK, for the next few months. While I am there I hope I can find a Shorin Ryu dojo to study at.
So, could any of you members of this...
I think your poll was an excellent idea but your choice of options really could be better. I do not think it makes much sense, for instance, to give India and Ukraine a slot of their own and list...
In "Amazing Spider Man" (released in 1977, not the 2002 movie with Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker). It is not exactly a Kendo scene but the villain's bouncers attack the hero wearing bogu and holding...
Hello Mr. Rangel,
I did not know about your organization and your dojo. From the pictures I have seen in your website it looks like the school attracts quite a lot of people there in the...
Thanks for the input Mr. Irwin!
As you mentioned, I think the price is the main reason why people choose to buy the kama I showed. So, having them lost, worn out or broken means no big deal. And...
One more to testify the high popularity Jiraya reached around here! In a time I do not remember having seen anything related to the Bujinkan around.
I think the show would still be on if the TV...
Not at all. The only reason I got the sharp one was because it was the only type available. Actually I do not think there are dull sickles being sold in hardware stores. If I could find a dull edged...
I have purchased the sickle shown in the picture below at the gardening section of a hardware store the other day.
I did not find it by accident, I was actually loking for it there since I have...
again?
working?
Where I live I do not think it would be too hard to otain the copies. There are many fans who trade those tapes. Second hand VHS stores are also a good place too look.
50 episodes were made, of...
Jiraya was very popular around here in the late 80's and early 90's. The whole series was shown on TV over and over on a daily basis. When I hear or read people from Europe or North America comment...
The above do exist.

9 - I used to have a solar powered calculator in which there was this ac adapter input, I think.

Despite a couple different details from the version I have been taught, the kata presented in the scanned pages apparently is the beggining of Maezato no Nunchaku. Maybe some other kata has a similar...
Robert,
There sure are other kata. Anyway the rest of your question kinda confused me. When you mention Ryukyu, Okinawa and Shorin are you refering to the geographic sites? Or particular schools...
