Hmm. Interesting. Being as to....
Baseball bat = 32"
Bokuto = 39"
Were you lining up for a photograph at the time <smile>

The use of Judo in Sumo is frowned on. It is considered cheating. Which is a little ironic considering that professional Sumo is as fixed as Pro Wrestling.
I saw that film many years ago. He certainly needed his Judo experience. I know many Aikido students who quit after watching that.
Whatever you do, please do not be fooled by this charlatan who claimed Menkyo Kaiden of Tennen Rishin Ryu at the age of 25 but did not know any Japanese or even the names of the instructors in Japan....
Twisted historical facts in Budo. I'm shocked. Who would have imagined such a thing.
Perhaps it's my English ability but the reply by Mr. Kacem Zoughari does not make any sense to me.
Strange you should say that because many well known instructors did much more than that in the 60s and 70s when they gave up everything they had and moved across the world to Japan not just a few...

Yoiur post title asked for translation but maybe you wanted the reading so that is what it says.
These days asking people to help you by downloading a 'mystery' zip file, then unzipping it and then analyzing a series of photographs is not so good ettiquette. Why not just upload a a video to...
I think I'm too slow. I clicked the link and checked each article carefully but I just can't find any 'Samurai Week' article. Perhaps my browser is filtering something out. I see links for three...
I cannot find this 'Samurai week' item. Can you give the link. Thank you.
Could you give a few examples of the Iai techniques in shinto muso ryu please?
Why must people always add words like ‘infamous’ notorious’ ‘legendary’ etc to such past instructors? It’s weak and poor writing to use such clichés. ‘The infamous master Chuck Norris’ sounds funny...
