I am looking for a specific maker of hand-made kobudo weapons, but I forgot both his name and the name of his company.
I'm pretty sure that it was not "Crane Mountain" or "Weapons Connection",...
The gold stripe denotes the mastery of kobudo, as well as karate.
I'd be a little concerned about teaching karate to "the homeless". YES, I agree, they deserve to defend themselves, but I'd be somewhat concerned that SOME of "the homeless" might be doing most of...
If you are buying it for hunting, then I'd suggest the Mossberg 935, because it is a good, tough, easy-to-use, all-purpose shotgun, that can handle some of the most powerful 12-gauge game and fowl...
Where'd you train, Sir?
There are TWO traditional, Okinawan-style dojos near Savannah:
Lake Mayer Shorin-Ryu -- Tue / Thu, 6-9pm -- a bunch of guys who trained in Shorin-Ryu, and who get...
When are they going to either put it BACK, or put it on a ".pdf" document, so I can download it?
What'll we do in the USA, if the Supreme Court on November 9th says that the "militia" is a "collective" of persons, and their weapons belong to the "collective", not the individual?
I know the...
Funny, I guess everything's all better, now, because my federal retirement (which is about 20% invested in the Nikkei) is shooting up, uP, UP!!!
Great for me?

Already received from Roger Pratt Sensei:
Nitan-bo (2') in Ipe Wood -- hit them so hard together, that my arms ached, without a dent on either of them.
6' Octagon Bo in Coco-Bolobo Wood -- dark...
Jody Paul (of Jody Paul's Okinawan Karate Academy) is in Kings Bay, GA (about 20min. South of GLYNCO / FLETC off I-95). He's a BB Hall-of-famer, and "THE expert on Okinawan weapons in the U.S.A.",...
I'd go to ATL, but I have other obligations keeping me near Savannah right now, and my Gulfstream is in the shop. :)
I've heard of Genbukan, so you are CERTAILY welcome to come to Savannah to...
The Shorin-Ryu dojo is no longer on HAAF. My Sensei moved to Seattle, and the school broke up. As far as I know, I'm the only one still training. As for Kendo / Iaido, I'm looking for someone to...

I will answer each question in kind:
>Can you please expand on what your military, law enforcement, and civilian >training in "Gun Do" has been?
I have had ZERO training in "Gun-Do". I...
"Gun-Do" - as a term - I learned from the book I mentioned (above). I was not aware of the other (more appropriate?) term.
In my training (military, law enforcement, civilian), I can remember...
No "spray-n-pray" gun-nuts need apply. I'm talking about the perfection of a martial skill, here.
I'm asking, because mastery of the rifle was specifically mentioned in "Secrets of the Samurai"...
As soon as I can AFFORD it, I'm getting a Taitsuki Nihonto #3, with a special-order tsuba shaped like my Master's organizational symbol (see my avatar). They go for around $800, plus $90 each for the...
How do you feel about the importance of training in Gun-Do?
Do you introduce your class to small arms as a part of your "traditional" kobudo training? If so, do you take your class to the range?
