Excellent post, Kit! Thanks for sharing it with us.

After viewing that it would appear that Sul sa do translates as the way of the B-movie ninja wannabe. :rolleyes:

Jody,

Another carry option would be a static chord carry. Tie the chord to your belt and then place the sheath in-waist-band (iwb). If you tie the chord to the right length the sheath will clear...

Priceless! "...A good auld fashioned butt kickin'."

Hey Jason.

I'm busier than ever but still lurking around. Oh yeah, congrats on moderator status!

Another vote for Peanut Butter. I take no responsibility for any cravings you get during training.

You guys need to seriously lighten up! Jason is expressing the same frustration that a lot of people are regarding the situation. While I agree that suggesting a boycott Aruba is extreme,...

Welcome back. Enjoy your vacation, John, and stay safe over there.

Rogier, it really depends on what you are looking for. I have a clinical model of the Total Gym. We got it because my wife is a physical therapist, uses them at work, and swears by them.

Let me guess, Oscar and Ratti's Secrets of the Samurai?

I recently bought my first tactical folder; a used Emerson CQC7. One of my students, an LEO in Texas, swears by them. I have to admit to being hooked as well.

One of the features I like most...

Barry,
You might try asking your question on the discussion board at Budoseek.net. Robert Carver, Vice President of USJJF, is the administrator.

One of my assistant instructors, a shodan at time that he first faced this situation, dealt with it this way. He informed the student that he (the student) must be the "stupidest S.O.B." he had ever...

Without knowing any more specifics, I have to vote that the student was in the wrong. Generally speaking, a student should never put his instructor in a position where he would be embarassed.

It...

Kevin,
You are more than welcome. Somebody else posted that link late last year and I have been intrigued by their offerings since then. Perhaps if they consider their efforts with the translation...

For the record, I'm not looking to learn technique from these books. I passed on purchasing the reprint of the Asayama Ichiden Densho despite the number of illustrations because it was in Japanese....

Although I am not a Genbukan/KJJR member, as a result of a seminar with John Lindsey last year I have developed interest in both Asayama Ichiden Ryu and Kukishin Ryu. Buyubooks, www.buyubooks.com,...

An excellent discussion of the various names of "jujutsu" arts can be found in Serge Mol's book, CLASSICAL FIGHTING ARTS OF JAPAN: A Complete Guide to Koryu Jujutsu .:)

I find that varying between light contact, stopping the atemi short, as in sun-dome, and actually striking past the target (to demonstrate penetration), help in keeping a feel for the range of the...

I really wish I could accomodate your Mr. Keen. Unfortunately, the last time I looked for my vintage (1984) homemade video of Mr. Williams I couldn't find it. No doubt it was misplaced during our...

"Those gaijin will never figure out why Kobe beef is so tender!!"

Bottom line, Jason, is that whatever is going to motivate your friend to continue is going to have to be intrinsic rather than extrinsic.

From experience, I offer the following. Encourage your...

Mr. Lowry,
First, please just call me Paul. The high school students that I teach call me Mr. Mathews, at least most of them do when they know I'm listening. I hate to be formal when talking about...

Mr. Lowry,
Thanks for the input. That pretty much dovetails with what little information I have been able to put together from cookbooks and a piece I caught on television. I tend to try to get...

I would like to try my hand at making fresh soba. Has anyone had any success at using a pasta machine to do so? If so, I would appreciate any advice/recipes that you found helpful.

Thanks in...
