Hi all,

Hi David,
Yes, I'm the Branch Master, but no frock as only Nidan. BSKF dojo but all welcome. The branch is something of an offshoot of Glasgow Uni dojo, as I'm still an assistant coach there, but...
Hi all,
[/Unlurk]
How are you doing, long time no see, how are the kids etc. etc.
Shorinji Kempo in Edinburgh
I should have done this ages ago, of course, but there is a new Dojo in...
Well, I believe he is still Japanese, not just 'then'.
And if I could venture an opinion, perhaps no one wants to dish the dirt because it's boring, and political, and not really why any of us...
Hi Steve, welcome to E-Budo. I've been a Sleeper Kenshi a long time myself!
I'm interested in your statement that the movements are particularly different in SK compared to Aikido, because I've...
What about Anders-sensei? didn't he start training a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, and now is at 6th/7th?
It's not all about Germany, Jan!
Don't you want to come back to us, Danny Boy? No plans to return?
With difficulty.
Or, sometimes,
without thinking (Example: My partner grabbed for Kote Maki Gaeshi and swung for my head. I ducked and did kusshin geri, then apologised because he fell over).
I agree with Jan.
There are various types of Aikido, depending on when the founder of that particular style branched off from Morihei Ueshiba. Some don't even use the same terminology (Yoshinkan...
Is it more complete, though, for having more techniques?
I heard a quote once that SK had about 300 or so techniques, not counting variants. Aikido has 1300 (or at least so I read in an interview...
Opportunities for comedy?
I think this should be the Kempo theme song:

Awesome.
Throw yourself at the ground and miss*.

*This may be a quote from a very good author.
A bit of cross-training would be okay. I've often thought of trying Judo out, purely as it covers an area of fighting that SK largely leaves alone.
Another advantage is that, as some techniques...
Can any of us throw stones in the 'rambling' house?
Well done, Paul, everything I felt but couldn't articulate.
Goho: Jun-zuki with my dominant (right) hand).
Juho: Gyaku gote. Probably the same reason as Jude: A big principle in that little technique...
Would anyone's training be useful against someone like that?
In a fight as unevenly matched as the first video Raul presented, I don't think many of us are shocked that the bigger guy won. It's a...
Ah, crap!

This is all getting MIGHTY complex.
This guy's a scapegoat.
There. simple.
The problems we're dealing with at the moment don't fall on one guy's shoulders. This guy's pension sounds like...
Seconded, Leon. we're not on duty on the internet; we should be free to discuss a great many more things than technique X or 'what's the word for Y'. Those threads don't interest me nearly as much as...
Go to the gym as well as Kempo.
Start running when winter's over.
Get a Bike license.
Get a bike.
Finish my Membership exams (for Medicine)
Get in touch with all those people you see...
Depends whose bed it is...
"Rare" - you're not kidding...
What you've said demonstrates my point, though - because of your skill level in MSK medicine, you feel comfortable putting in a dislocated shoulder, and were able to...
On the other hand, Rob makes a very good point. It can also be quite hard to reduce a dislocated shoulder without a muscle relaxant/sedation. I wouldn't and I am a doctor. Doesn't sound like Rob...
It's not that controversial. But running away's more practical.
In terms of sen no sen, mae uchi jodan I would say is best. But I'd rather run to avoid the conflict.
Your parents just made that up to stop you watching TV, Jan! Books SUCK!
