Hello and welcome to the forum.
I totally sympathize. As a young Dan grade I often thought of teaching, but never got the chance. Come 2004, I was invited to teach at a club in Preston. Twenty miles form where I live. I took the...
Rather than sexist, is it more that the 'judo competitor' that let this cat out of the bag was a woman. It's something I've often felt about Olympic Judo. What a loss, belittle such a great art.

Hello , I am currently doing research for an article on the introduction of Goju Ryu to Great Britain. I am trying to contact Brian Waites, to...

Hello Mr Sitton.
One thing you don't mention is, how long you have been training. If it's months rather than years, this may be the answer in itself. Besides, as Mr Meade has pointed out, Jutsu...

Pat McCarthy's book, 'Classical Kata', states that sesan was the first kata taught in Shuri-te by Itosu.This prior to the introduction of Pinan. And I believe Harry Cook or Graham Noble made the...
