I was reading through a thread which referenced "traditional" ninjutsu. At the risk of bringing the crackpots out of the shadows, my question is, quite simply, what exactly is "traditional" ninjutsu?
At my agency we are issued Beretta 92 D, DAO. There is a magazine disconnect specicially requested by the VA. Most of our officers have previous experience prior to being hired, but once hired they...
Dale Seago did a segment on shuko and mutodori (I think). No telling how much will end up on the editing room floor but it oughta be fun to watch.
I will be speaking with him this evening. We are supposed to be going to Nashville this weekend to help with an embu being put on by a dojo there. I never was on Ninpo-L, that may have been during my...
Will do, Brian.
Lee is alive and well and still training from time-to-time in Birmingham, Alabama. I've tried several times to get him to check this board. I'll let him know you asked. If want his e-mail send me a...
Surviving a fight is the important thing. If an officer is knocked to the ground then he needs that skill right then. So he better have trained in it. It does not matter what style he uses, as long...
I haven't seen this elsewhere yet. I heard on CNN a little while ago about a 6.5 magnitude quake centered on the Big Island. I hope all is well with the E-budo ka in the islands.
I think your teacher should be able to answer your questions for you. There are so many variations to everything (in the Bujinkan anyway) that your teacher is the best person to answer so that you...
Thinking is a problem. To quote Nagato-sensei: "Budo is a doing thing."
Knowing the physical stance is only the outward manifestation of the kamae. Kamae are as much as feeling as a stance. Taijutsu being a fluid art we often find ourselves in kamae constantly and moving...
If I read that right, you can try Lang Son traders in Arlington. Thats where I got my KI brand heavy weight brushed cotton dogi. Very comfortable and very durable. I think they carry An-buh brand...
Can't that be fatal, too? Just being Devil's Advocate there. A lot of the CQC/CQB training in the military is doing these days is zero-sum, that is fatal to the BG as quickly as possible. No worrying...
I know this is an old thread, but there are a few Bujinkan groups in Alabama. I don't know how close to Monroeville you are (I don't even know where that place is, to be honest, except south of BHM),...
I agree. The folks in our agency who picked the Beretta may be retiring soon. Maybe then we can get them to go with a better pistol. They actually said that one of the reasons they picked the 92D was...
Jack Hoban had a small part in the development of this program. He was Marine captain, and his contribution is more in the warrior mentality than in the physical aspects.
OORAH
When I was in the Marine Corps we deployed to Okinawa for 6-month periods. There was a feeling among most of the Marines I served with that the civilian population was lucky to have us there and that...
Because the gun sucks, which it does, or because I can't spell "Centurion?" Let's see, in addition to the 92D the powers that be have determined that our intermediate weapons will be the PR-24XTS and...
I think it is relevant to discuss just exactly what a militia is. However, I think it is also relevant to discuss what the original intent of the framers of the United Constitution was. We would all...
Hey John,
I have heard about these things. They seem interesting. I'll let you know if I come across anything about the "almost" hollow point for military use.
How often do ya'll get to the...
Those look real cool. I could not find an English page. Do they have one?
It is refreshing to hear from someone on this issue who is not taking a blanket stand that the United States is the wild west simply because we have much more libertarian laws about firearms (notice...
Hi! I'm not really sure about Dogwood Aikikai. There is also a Buddhist Temple in Atlanta which claims to teach Iaido. I believe that Shinkendo (Obata Toshishiro) also has a presence in the Atlanta...
Thanks for the info. John. I work with a guy here who is ex-Army MP. He once told me that apparently the Marines were operating under a different set of ROE than the Army. He told me of a time a...
