    Gassho Rob

    Just spotted this thread.

    Read the first few replies.

    When Goho and Juho randori are combined they call it Jiyu randori. (Not sure of the spelling)

    Gassho all

    Yes well put.

    All Juho requires a serious attack, the moment they "snap back" let go etc, they have changed the equation ie countered your defense.
    Even though they may still be hanging on....

  10. Gassho Antti

    Priorities in life are very important.

    For every hour I spend on the dojo floor in class I would spend at least five hours doing administration, promotion, management etc. All of which someone...
  11. Gassho all

    Interesting that the concept of paying the "Instructor" is so firmly fixed in peoples mind, as it tends to be him who starts/ends up running the branch by default.

    I am not a big advocate of that,...
  12. Paid instructors

    Gassho,

    I think the key question is why did Kaiso (and the founders of many other major styles) frown on or prohibit paid instructors?

    The problem of "politics & money" would be largely removed...
  13. Gassho Rob

    Got to agree with you there Rob.
    Depends on the character of the individual and his motivation when it comes down to it.

    Is the strategy he employed.
    The spacial awareness he must have had to keep them all at a safe distance.
