Joshua,
Don't worry. Your question is fine and legitimate. It's just been a well rehearsed scene around here, so it's a bit tired for most of us.
To get the answers and discussions you...
Joshua,
Do a search on the topic and read the 1000s of pages about it. This conversation has been beat to death, then dragged back to life in zombie form and beaten to death again and again. I...
Last time I saw the words "Minamoto Genji clan" as a sequence was on a John Denora website. That pretty much says it all.
Some MMA greats like Lyoto Machida and Georges St. Pierre are Karateka. Don't sweat it.
Post your new topics relating to your gendai jujutsu in the Gendai Budo section. It's a clearly labeled section directly under the Gendai heading.
It's obviously a parody. He's a genius! And some of y'all need some ninjin"!
I hate to add fuel to the Hapkido-derived-from-DR fire (I am consistently on the side of "probably not", and "if so them it evolved too much to be relevant in a modern context"), but Hapkido as I...
Greetings A.J.,
I paid around the same price as you, around $10.50. However, I have seen it as low as $7 and also priced up into the $30/40 range for posh brands (although I'll never pay more...
Right now I am sipping a 2008 Georges DeBeouf Beaujolais Nouveau. S'ok. Big fruit body, but I think I should let it breathe a bit, decant it even.
Steve,
Found the guy's email. I'm sending you a PM now.
Hi Steve,
I live in Olympia, and there's very little in the realm of traditional schools here. I teach Icho Ryu Aikibudo and Jujutsu concepts at the Evergreen Jujutsu Club (a free...
It would be interesting, if we could review the names of those people, or other people mentioned during the Daito Ryu phase of the book, and pose questions to them, or their descendents/students...
Hi Brendan,
Kuk sool (won) is a new MA, with roots in Hapkido and Southern Praying Mantis. For more info on esoteric Korean martial arts, go to http://www.hapkidoforum.com

Give a couple of handfuls of walnuts a rough chop, and set aside.
Wash and chop up one leek or one medium onion (we like Walla Walla or Vidalia sweet onions) or a combo of leek and onion. Sautee...
My old lady makes a great Brussels sprouts side. It is Brussels with onions (or leeks) and walnuts, in a balsamic reduction. Very tasty, and provides all kinds of great nutritional value w/ the...
Jack,
Maybe I'm confused, but don't you study gung fu?
Where is all the hubbub about Aikido being killed off by the popularity of MMA coming from?
The one who shows up early, hides behind something, and then clobbers the other with a wooden oar wins.
...In other words, ya can't turn a corner in the Pacific Northwest without being stuck with a katana. :nin:
Dave Lamond studied Icho Yama Ryu under Ibarra and Goldberg originally, two of the folks involved in the making of Icho Yama Ryu, the combined name for the video marketed Aiki stuff with Bernie Lau's...
I worked as a bouncer for awhile, and found standing armlocks to be difficult to maintain against struggling drunks. At best, they are a transitional position to a hammer lock, with collar grab or...
Seems like a decent enough way to hurt people, but it is aggressively marketed on its website, and frankly, looks like it has elements of "video blackbelt" and pyramid scheme incorporated into it. ...
I disagree. Sure there's gun violence, but that is just part of the spectrum of violence that happens all the time. The ability to defend oneself is important-- regardless of teen thugs with...
This is so inauthentic, it should really be in baffling budo. There is nothing about the videos that resemble aiki, or even jujutsu, much less aikijujutsu.
Good grief, he could say he was...
Just google his name. He is a friend of and maybe protege of Masaaki Hatsumi. He authored a book on Hatsumi. I don't know if Akira Hino is in the Bujinkan however, or where his skilz originated...
