This truly is sad. Ridgley was a good man. He was an outstanding sensei/coach, referee and friend. He will be missed.
That is correct.
It's with sadness that I inform you that George Anderson of Akron Ohio has passed away. Mr. Anderson was the President of the USAKarate Federation, the former National Governing Body for Karate as...
No, I never picked up that kata, but there's a video floating around out there of Hayashi sensei performing the kata.
Hayashi Ha, as far back as the late 80's in the USAKF competitions did their Unshu very much like the Shitokai version which, to my eye is close to the version posted above.
Some shito groups...
Brett,
How far are you from Bristol? PM me.
Rob
Was Peter Urban back from Japan by then, teaching in NY? What about Anthony Miraken?
Prince,
It's Ten No Kata. Hayashi Ha's Ten no Kata = Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu's Fyukyu kata Ichi.
Hayashi Ha's Chi no kata = Matsubayashi Ryu's Fyukyu Kata Ni = Goju's Gekkisai Dai Ichi.

There's also MJER under Minobu Miki in San Diego.
Rob
That's the guy.

Asai sensei (JKS/IJKA)told me the same thing.
Rob
Prince,
I remember reading in one of Hassel's books that the first karate tournament was held in Japan by the JKA (Nakayama, Nishiyama et al.)
Rob
It's schtick. It's intended for the masses. Mr. Miki has legitimate rank through the Soke of Hokushin Shinoh Ryu and from Toshiyuki Tateno in MJER.
Face it, Iai is boring to the noninitiated. ...

Wife did the same for our firstborn. According to the OB and the nurses at delivery, the being in shape helped her a lot. She made a vaginal delivery of our 9lb 4.5 oz girl almost look easy. The...
Mr. Calabrese,
If Mr. Cyr received sub-standard product from Swordstore/Nosyu, perhaps you could offer to make it up to him. An exchange, perhaps? Certainly, you must still have the records of...
If you're doing JKA Shotokan, it's a fairly decent book. If you're doing a different system, it's a rotten book.

If you need to wear the trousers from your gi under your hakama, why not buy a pair of black ones?
Rob
I would not know. I'm a karate guy. These guys do have good reputations however.
Rob
You have loads of Danzan Ryu out here. Schools with solid lineages from Sig Kufferath, Bud Estes, Bill Montero and others are here in the Bay Area. Also, you have some Small Circle out here as Mr....
Ajari Sensei is at the Oakland YMCA on Broadway. If you're interested in Wado, I'd go there.

edit: Oh Hi Ann! :o
Mr. Horton,
Which kata are different between Goju Kai and Jundokan's kata?
Rob
The way most shorin ryu systems and Shito Ryu have the pinans numbered is the way that we're told that Itosu made and numbered them. Funakoshi renumbered them for the Shotokan Heians.
Rob
Thanks, Mr. Loeffler,
Shito as you know, has a wanshu that IMO is not of the same lineage as the Wanshu in Nagamine sensei's book. According to what we're told in Shito Ryu, that kata comes from...
