Good day Mr Corper
Yes I understand and agree. When the situation has demanded it in the past (as in my after incident report and I could justify use of force) I found that irimi zuki into a door...
Mr Scott, that's interesting about the throw. The only place I think I remember reading that before was in Obata's Samurai Aikijujutsu. (I think but I'm not sure)
Also I had read about Takeda armed...
Uummm.... Since I don't have a dilemma nor was I posting a question, nor did I have an issue with them being armed or why they were armed. I was making a statement about aikidoka's expectations of an...
To start I am not questioning aikido's ability to be a useful form of self defense. I have been in the armed forces and had three over seas tours. I also worked in night club security and security in...
Thanks everyone for the great answers!

To all the brain boxes out there who have an answer to everything. At least this is my opinion from reading this site off and on for the past few years!
So here is my question, and as the title...
Thank you Mr Covington and Mr Judge. I am also interested in the history of aikido/DR and what the big guys studied to round them out. I am lucky to have the help of Ichiya soke and the senior...
Thank you Mr Urena. I will do my best to keep people updated.

Good day Mr Goldsbury
Thank you for your time. I am very familiar with HIPS. I plan to write on the history of Hozoin Ryu especially at the Nishinkan in Aizu. Easy to do with all the information...

Good day all,
I have a question and I hope that this is the correct thread to ask it in. I have a question regarding the use/ transfering of power through the knees.
As I have read "Kendo Reader"...
Good day Mr Amdur,
I was reading your book Old School, again, and I was enjoying the chapter on Araki Ryu.
What I found of interest was the quote from Araki Muninsai "You make your practice a...
From Koryubudo
For example: the very first kata within Koryu Bujutsu "section" of Hyoho Niten Ichi ryu that any beginner will start learning from the very start ends with one's attack on an...
Many thanks.

Mr Amdur
Thank you for the fair answer. I will definately make it a discussion when the opportunity presents itself. Mr Buyens that was a very interesting insight. You are correst we do not use...
Mr Amdur,
Thank you for the reply. I see your point about koshi. I think you are correct about viewing this trinity from the point of Hozoin ryu being different than kendo. I do not study kendo so...
Thank you Mr Amdur,
Yes the gentleman is correct I am speaking of the sunden between the eyes. Sorry I was not clear before. Also Mr Amdur your correct I was told koshi as base, as in the small of...
Mr Amdur,
First I want to thank you for taking the time to write HIPS, outstanding book! I have read it no less than 10 times to date. As a student of Yoshinkan Aikido and Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu I...
Thank you all for your input. The context used for kakarite and mochite was used in how they are used in seiza no bu mae. What are/ should be my thoughts in their use while performing this waza. It...
Hello Taylor Sensei,
Thanks for the reply. When I looked up the term on the net that's what I got as well from kendo. Settling in here well. Good iai training. Good aikido dojo and started Hozoin...
