Great picture too!
I'm not sophisticated enough to paste in the pics of Iron Maiden's Eddy or Paul Stanley of Kiss, but let's keep them out of this travesty!
"I have video and pix of Shioda Sensei dropping guys with one foot in the air."
Yes! I'd include pictures of him raising the heel for a variety of reasons, even upon completion of the technique....
Steven, it would have been so much less painful if you would have posted the pick instead of the entire 300KB page!
Just my opinion, but I feel like your teacher should not stand in the way of your learning unless he believed you were in some sort of physical danger by attending this seminar. He may not like it,...
It may better belong in the health section, but I've gotten good feedback from folks here: What can you tell me about treating migrains--my own or someone else's? Thanks!
John, the site looks really good. Check your PM. And thanks for posting it.
"the 'it hides the footwork' one which I never really bought"
I don't know if the hiding of the footwork was intentional, but I certainly believe it to be a byproduct.
Chuck, your comments...
Thanks guys. I guess my question about locations is that it is all relative to their body size though, right. A cun is a unit of measurement, so generally speaking, what would the reason be for...
Some are more prone to response from different points than others. I have two specific questions and I'd appreciate your experiences in responding:
1. Are the pressure points in the exact same...
Good info, Scott. Can you tell me the exact location? That area's got a # of nerves and I want to be sure we're talking about the same ones. If you give me the TCM # I'll reference it. I guess the...
"it was an inch inside the anus"
I'm all for trial and error, but even I'd pass at that one
Add me to the list of those fascinated with pressure points, nerves, knock outs points, etc. While I fully appreciate the complexity of dim mak and arts that utlizes multiple strikes/brushes/etc. to...
I have a small dojo (location--my basement) in a large suburb. The only advertising I do is our web site and word of mouth. I'm sure a significant portion go to our site and realize this art is not...
"Seems the current Aikikai trend in Japan (and in those dojos with close Japanese ties) is for women to start wearing them at 5th or 4th kyu (1st or second tests) and men to wait until shodan."

Rachel,
I don't know where you are in Michigan, but there are several dojo of Sho Bu Do Jujitsu in Michigan. They do a great deal of joint locking. Visit www.shobudo.org for more information.
gnu2thisplanet, what was your response? Did you quit? Heal and go on? Find another dojo? Just curious . . .
Oh, what I meant was were you describing the method of, as uke, being unbalancing and disorienting as the sensation of falling into the hole? I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I'd like to...
Thanks to you all for your responses from what I admit may have been a defensive post (from me) at the outset. I really can't comment on my one instructor's wrist being broken in Japan. He did not...
"Does this strike anyone else as simply a lack of control? Either that, or very bad ukemi?"
I'd say the same thing if I didn't know each situation. I'm not bragging. I've never hurt anyone due to...
I agree, Glenn, your attitude is very refreshing. Kudos! Let me begin by qualifying my response to your question about the difference between jujitsu and ajj by saying, I have never seen good non-ajj...
