I looked into this a few years ago and though I can't really offer any verified sources on the matter, there is, or at least there was, quite a bit of information on Japanese Wikipedia.

So...

MacArthur fellowship? Cool

I think many of us have heard of it although perhaps not so many know what it really is. I work in academia myself so I've come across it once or twice. Does he still...

Don't mind Trip. He's just our resident gate keeper against spammers. Welcome to E-budo, hope you find what you're looking for. Sadly, I cant help you as I could barely even find the dangerous end of...

Good for you!

I just wanted to add one small thing. Whatever need you may have for learning more or less realistic self defense, I would say that finding a nice and enjoyable place to train is more important since...

Not at all. To me, your post is very relevant to E-Budo but don't look too much at the view counter. It includes a bunch of search engine robots and such

With regards to your original question, I...

Yes, Musashi is quite well renowned, particularly in the K-1 world.

Any other names?

Ok, so I'm a little bored and thought I'd start a new thread here just to pass the time. But what should the topic be? How about famous Shorinji Kempo practitioners? Are there any? I've done some...

Since Anders sensei was referring to finger locks being forbidden in MMA, not Judo and BJJ, he is entirely correct. Small joint manipulation is forbidden in the major MMA organisations. Small joints...

Since Hakko ryu was founded in 1941, this is not very likely. I think I've heard somewhere, probably from Anders-sensei, that it was Fusen ryu ju jutsu that he was trained in as a child. I can see...

In my most limited experience, some of Shorinji Kempo juho waza can be successfully applied in grappling. Primarily nuki waza but also certain katame or gyaku waza. Nuki waza can obviously be used to...

Seems a bit over the top when she could have just kicked him in the nuts :)

But still cool

Looks like it

Yes, the system is going to be implemented April 1 2013 globally it seems.
To answer your questions as best as I can:
- All kenshi with official kyugrades 3-1 kyu (not counting yonkyu which some...

Thank you for this. It made my day :)

I saw ichiji gamae in the beginning and taiki gamae at least once

How did the grading go?

Not if you change your technique according to the attack. The "you attack me wrong" thing is really only applicable when practising a certain technique and desire a certain attack for the sake of...

It'll be a long way before my branch can even afford to think of paying an instructor. And even if we could I'm not sure I would want to. There is a tradition in Sweden of nonprofit sports clubs and...

As I said, I can do it fairly well now but thanks for your elaborate instructions

Ude juji gatame, no contest.

I feel that I perform the technique fairly well now but it has taken a while. It is also very difficult to teach with the intricate twists and grabs of the arm.

Ryu...

That was the point i was trying to make in my previous post. Kaiso surely developed his Shorinji Kempo and training under him in the 50s or in the 70s was surely very different.

Acctually kote maki gaeshi was one of the techniques i was thinking about. Anyway, I do agree with you, I was just curious as to what was Kaisos way of doing things. I would imagine that he also...

Is it really true that it was more brutal back in the day or is that just what we think?

I did a comparison after having been thrown about by Arai sensei (very smooth, hardly any pain) and another...

Anders sensei started in -85 or around there. He is Godan since 2001 i think and Daikenshi since 2004 or 2005 or something like that.
