I am not an expert by any means, but my understanding is that a physical therapist is one who helps you do rehab, while a trainer is who you use to not get hurt in the first place. But I would keep...

I half expect to turn it sideways and have it say "Try Bob's Sushi House" or something similar.

Okay, turned my head the other way, and now it makes sense.

By E-Budo rules, you need to sign your posts with your real name each time.

Right there with you. Some of us have even hit GenCon a few times.

Whatever your thoughts of on-line gaming or old fashioned pen and paper, there are entire industries that owe their existence...

That's the article. Thanks for the link.

And I believe it is the style of Araki-ryu that Ellis teaches which stresses improvement and adaptation, within a framework (I am sure he could explain...

I would recommend Ellis Amdur's writings on koryu, especially those in the Koryu Books series of publications, with particular attention to the article on how koryu adapt within a tradition.

He...

Warning - song in the video is not safe for work! But images are hilarious.

How we do it in our dojo (or rather, outside our dojo) won't do you any good if your dojo and sensei do it differently. So rather than offer potentially misleading advice, let me encourage you to...

Where the sword goes, how you bow, whether you move both hands or one at a time, are all aspects of each particular ryu-ha, and may be done for reasons of readiness, etiquette, tradition, or any...

There are several entries in the Fieldnotes sections of Koryu.com's books about various styles which use strange looking movements, the explanation for which is that they would be used outdoors, on...

Standing that close to the action without awareness of what is going on?

While wearing a windbreaker?

I hope this isn't the sensei.

Anybody catch that it was dubbed into French?

And yes, the rice krispies sound effects were just bad.

I think these are fundamentally rooted...

Wow, I haven't read that one in a while. Thanks for the reminder.

On clicking the links, I found that all the classes they were offering were given in 2005. I wonder if they are no longer giving classes or just not registering them on-line anymore.

I see the troll, but where's the bridge?

A quote attributed to both Samuel Goldwyn (movie mogul) and Gary Player (golfer):

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

How many times do we see something in a game, a match, a contest of...

Did you see the location of the item?

Paradise, Japan.

I've also seen it done with the middle initial, where the rest of the name was rendered in katakana, probably to avoid a single katakana character which could cause confusion.

Poor use of a poor instrument with poor results.

There has to be a lesson in there somewhere.

The show was pretty good.

It showed some good material, gave some basic science behind it, but some great images of the smelting of tamahagane, polishing, and Otake sensei.

Hello all,

NOVA will be running a program on samurai swords (their words) on our local PBS station this coming Tuesday (10/9). It may air elsewhere as well. There is also a preview of the...

Have you tried bugei.com? They have a few different selections.

Moo ikkai!!

(either wanting another chance at life, or telling us to go through the kata again, take your pick!)

Those are priceless. Only someone thoroughly verse with English pronunciations would be able to pull them off convincingly.
