Tohei Sensei was instrumental in spreading Aikido throughout the world. He was the teacher to many of today's shihans and literally brought Aikido to the US. It is a sad day to lose a true pillar...

In Total Agreement!!!!!
The light is simply a deterrent. If a person has no other options but to use the light as a self-defense tool than I guess the bezels make some good "tattoo" marks...

The sad truth is that a majority of Americans are out of shape and overweight. In the town that I use to work in, there was a female leo who weighted well in excess of 300lbs and was no more...
Kit clearly illustrates A LOT of important points. Good research into Aggressor/assailant psychological factors have delineated a significant number of signs that the assailant looks for in...

Toby Threadgill has written the following review:
My good friend Kenji Ushiro has written a unique treatise. Despite a title that identifies this work as a book on karate, it is in fact much more....
Andrew:
Ushiro Sensei has a logical progression from kata, bunkai kumite (moves from kata in sparring situations) to kumite. He is a strong advocate that if you cannot apply what you learn to...
I would strongly recommend the following book:
Karate and Ki: The Origin of Ki- The depth of Thought. Kenji Ushiro
This book specifically addresses issues related to Kata. Nathan's position...
Andrew:
I view both Tai Chi and Aikido as internal arts. As such, there are just so many body dynamics and types of movements that fit within the realm of principle-based movements that utilize...

I too run an Aikido school (am a direct student of Imaizumi Sensei), sublet to a very good tai chi teacher (we cross train together), I study with Ushiro Sensei and Popkin Sensei. We are in...

I just found out that Kinokuniya bookstore has not received it's shipment of the books yet, so people can order directly from the Aiki News website.

I am pleased to announce that the English version of this POWERFUL book in now...
A great resource about Chinese medicine for martial artists (including the liniment being discussed) is the book "A Tooth from the Tiger's Mouth". The Author is Tom Bisio, who is a highly...
I teach a traditional form of Aikido and emphasize the importance of learning how NOT TO FIGHT and NOT TO COMPETE (as is emphasized in other sports versions of Aikido). Many martial arts advertise...
I would like to extend my deepest thanks and appreciation for all of the people who attended Ushiro Sensei's seminar at my school on May 10 & 11 of this year. This seminar was the most basic...
I teach Aikido to children from first grade on up. I RESPECTFULLY disagree with the other two Aikidokas about teaching children Aikido. I do not play games with the children but teach them in a...
Mike:
I would suggest you speak to the owners of the space that you rent from and explain what has happened. They might decide that it is not a good idea to have that person teach in the same...
Chris:
What about the well-known sadists within the Aikido community? What is the reasoning behind their sadism? Should we now not let Aikido off the hook? Having started off in "hard" arts, I...
