The area around Korakuen has several budo shops on the main street.
If you feel like going a bit further, take the train from Seibu Shinjuku to Hon Kawagoe. It's less than an hour away, and ...

I recall reading about how a younger Choi Young-Eu (he was still using his Korean name back then) was defeated in judo by Taiji Kase. He then gave Kase his business card and stated that he was also...
Actually, I think both are desirable. (Especially if one knows which is which. :D)
If memory serves me correctly, it was a young Takahanada who defeated an aging Chiyonofuji and cemented the yokozuna's retirement - an almost exact re-enactment of Chiyonofuji bettering Takanohana I...
Aargh! My eyes! My ears!
Certain Shorin-Ry folks have A LOT to answer for!
The moral of the story is: never make a quick reply on your phone while walking in the dark.
While lamanting that I won't be able to make it to the dojo for another week.
Thread necromancy! 13 years.
I would like to add that karate was not practiced by the Japanese Imperial Army at the time Ueshiba was in service - that would not happen until the 1930s at the Nakano spy school. At that time, the...
Don,
It is a forum rule that all posts contain your FULL NAME.
At risk of thread necromancy (13 years must be a record!), I would like to add that I read Takeda travelled to Kyushu and had...
By the way, I stumbled across a sample of Steven Kaplan's TAIHO-JUTSU: The Art of Arrests, and the first chapter includes notes from SAC instructor Larry Lent.
If all this training was taking...

An interesting find indeed.
Too bad the footage of the judo, karate and aikido is mixed and the title is misleading.
Update:
My presentation was well received.
I got a few questions, mostly ones I had anticipated.
I was a bit reluctant to answer questions about ki from a qigong practitioner, partially because...
Here in Japan it is known as Typhoon #8.
Expect about a rainy-season month's worth of rain overnight...
Apparently, it was common for merchants in Osaka to keep to the right - they would hold their abacus in their right hand and needed to keep to the right to avoid the clashing of their calculating...
As a practicing aikidoka, I'll mostly agree with Brian and Neil.
Kendo with a lot of kata practice is probably closest to what you originally wanted. The level of weapons work in aikido can be...
Thanks for that Giles.
I remember sometime in 1997 I was asked to talk about aikido to some school kids (aged about 13 IIRC) and I got mostly "skirt" questions.
Since this time I'll be dealing...
My students' English level will be varied, from upper intermediate to advanced. I plan to use photos and realia as well in the presentation.
I imagine most questions will be technical in nature, in...
In a little over a week I'm going to give a short presentation to help adults learn how to introduce elements of Japanese culture in English. I decided to use aikido as an example, and here is the...
Mr. Ridge,
Sorry if I was a bit abrupt, it's just that your first post here at E-budo was a new thread and consisted of a simple statement. No introduction, no context... often the MO of spammers...
The last two look like Sukeji(?) 助治
Agreed.
And...?
Thanks, Aden.
