    It would be a great seminar to go to, If you were fit, in practice, could get away from work, and had the money. :) I hope it is a great success Steve.

    Originally we were discussing the merits of including competition in Shorinji Kempo. We now appear to be discussing the effectiveness of randori as tool for the development of self defence...

    I don't know Dirk, I think there is some selective memory going on here. Sport has been a part of Shorinji Kempo for many years. My first trip to Hombu in 1989 had a sporting component to the Taikai,...

    My thoughts too Rob. Apart from the technical standard being high, the philosophy was still embodied within the individual kenshi's actions.

    I think there is still plenty of randori competitions happening in Japan. Admittedly I'm out of the loop a little now, but I'm sure I have seen recent videos of them.

    I also think it would be fair...

    It is the same here in Australia. We have many not for profit organisations that are mostly operated as a means of support for different sectors of the community. The Endeavour Foundation is one...

    No doubt that this is right, but then it is also accurate that he did permit paid staff under some conditions.

    I tend to think times have changed dramatically since the 1950's, or for that matter...

    Or at least pain. I held some drug crazed idiot in ura gatame for about half an hour once, while waiting for the police to arrive. As distraught and violent as he was, the pain still modified his...

    Lack of grading opportunities were normal in Australia (not now). Ask Rob how long he spent at shodan, I think he may have been the longest. I did my shodan in 93, but in my case I haven't trained...

    Personally I like the idea of both aspects. If you understand the balance issues, then the attacker falls down easier. Throwing with more emphasis on balance is the best way to train. It is more...

    It is true that the waza are deep and do take some time to understand. I don't necessarily believe this causes people to leave. People like to feel they are learning. When time becomes an issue is...

    Yes, forums can be a great way of sharing and discussing ideas with a wide range of people. This one is a little slow lately.

    I'm at the stage that I would like to do some more training, but I...

    Are you going next month?

    Yes, it sounds very similar to Stewart's description. I would be interested to hear if the BBC is related to his goho too.

    If it is anything like what Sakaeda sensei has taught at the sessions I've attended at the Gold Coast branch it is very interesting. Not only from the juho perspective, but also goho too.

    Hi Stewart,

    Regarding Orie's comment on seniority. I think his intention may have been to highlight the varying interpretations of seniority. On one hand we have the formality of rank, while on...

    I think Rob was speaking historically. Cheap air fares are a fairly modern occurrence. A few years ago it was cheaper to fly to Japan than from Sydney to Perth. In the past we also...
