Yea, that affect me how? To many names use this screen name to list and I am not a liberty to do that anyway. You never know, I am sure that more than a few of us have other names that we may be...
If the shoe fits then I am sorry for you. I have never met you so I guess that would be up to you to decide. Paul Hart truly is only a screen name, the people who use it prefer to remain anonymous as...
As an aside, you know I am always open to talk or exchange techniques with anyone. My number is 253-653-2780 for anyone that wants to converse in whatever way. I will leave it there.
So what to...
No Ed, not you. Just have a lot on my mind and am tired of dealing with people who will not allow you to tell them by hiding. A lot of people, even some who are not members read these posts. You and...
Not that I can feel Ed, but some of the people I have met through the net make it so I check on a daily basis. Of course that is the magic of the net, you can get it in the back and never know it,...
You mean Matsumura didn't have point fighting tournaments at the Shuri castle? Wasn't that the way they took care of problems, met on the mat? They didn't have the Internet to remove them from danger...
Thank you Brian, but the reasons have little to do with E-Budo. I always found the people here knowledgeable and due respect. I have just become depressed with the state of Karate in general and the...
Mr. Owens, I did some checking and I would like to apologize to you as you are correct and I am not. When I asked and explained why I thought it was proper that if someone asked you it was normal to...
Yes, that is how I meant it, to say that is what they did. I remember well meeting my early grade school teacher, I think first grade. She was Japanese and teaching on base. When she went up to the...
I said that some teachers when asked would say they were Sensei, it is not improper for a teacher to say they are a teacher. This word is deemed to mean "teacher" in Japan. Mayumi san is in America,...
Yes, Ron Lindsey joined my group. The people who have trained with him and who decide to place him at a level above everyone else does not influence him (i.e. Mr. Cyr). He is a very knowledgable and...
Japanese=English
sensei=oath, abjuration
sensei=teacher, master, doctor
sensei=ancient sage, Confucius
sensei=despotism, autocracy
sensei=preempt, headstart (of several runs)
Many words...
Pretty much my whole childhood up to my later teens.
To clarify my earlier post, we no longer have belt colors or ranks for adults, childrens classes still go by colored belts and we teach the...
I have heard this from many in the Martial arts, but in Japan, people who teach, any kind of teaching, will refer to themselves as "Sensei" such as the lady that does my translation work for me, her...
I am looking for a place to get a book on the Okinawan tongue, sometimes called Hogen, other times called Uchinaguchi. If any one has information on this area of Okinawan Karate, please get in touch....
I have some questions about Sokon Matsumura's wife, I believe her name was Yonamine Chiru. Was she of the Sakugawa family or the Kushanku Family? Yonamine means "Rice Plant Peak" and I had always...
I am not Jim, but maybe I can let you know.
I believe Jim Neeter does Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu, Ronald Lindsey Lineage.
Shorinji means Shaolin Temple, not Shaolin. But good question.
Some misconceptions about Shorin Ryu, but some good info also. Shorin Ryu is the Japanese/Okinawan pronunciation of Shaolin. However, this is not the arts only origin. Sokon Matsumura, body guard to...
Yuichi kuda Shinshii had said the same to me about this. He was not sure of the Pinan or the Naihanchi 2 and 3 in the system, at least as much as I could communicate it. Mr. Gringas, could you expand...
Thank you Mr. Rousselot. I never trained with Taika Oyata but I did attend a birthday celebration and a seminar in Independence, MO for him where I got to meet him and some of his students. He is a...
Sorry I got a little heated there. I have nothing agaist you and I know you do not know me. No problem, if you ever want to train a little or exchange information my home is open to you.
On Oyata I was speaking of Uhugusiku No Tan Mei and Wakinaguri. You probably still dont know who these people are.
I guess real Matsumura would be a matter of opinion so I will not state mine.
Ah there is another Brian Cyr then. I was hoping. Thought you were this guy.http://www.mvmedia.com/nama/index.php?option=displaypage&Itemid=56&op=page&SubMenu=
