Bod I'm not sure what you're saying, I didn't win a fight and if I had I sure would have gone away. Could you please clarify?

Another effect I've noticed is that I tend to panic much more easily when drunk. Normally I'm not getting afraid in fights but all it takes when I'm drunk is a few hits on the ground and I feel like...
Hi!
I was just wondering if anyone has experiences of self-defence situations while being drunk. I ask because it happened to me yesterday at a party (me being the drunk person) and I couldn't react...
Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I forgot to make that clear, I am talking about the concept of the Edo period (Hagakure etc.) not the modern one.
Thanks for the information. The house codes...
Hi
I have lately read "Death, Honor and Loyalty: the Bushido Ideal" by G. Cameron Hurst and "Bushido or Bull?" by Karl F. Friday. Both are IMO well written and thought provoking but I still have...
I have taken a closer look at the video and I am able to see him twisting his fingers now. My apologies for wasting your time, I should have watched more carefully before posting.

Good point, maybe some of the japanese-speaking contributors can clarify.
That's great to hear and it also makes me very jealous of you because I never had the opportunity to be taught by...
Very true, someone at school once thought it would be funny to twist my finger.
It hurt so much I "accidentally" mawashi-geried him to the neck.
However, I can't see Sensei twisting his fingers at...
Does anyone know what this is ? http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=PQUe0Dw63ko

Someone has posted this http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=tD4f_rEPwE4
on youtube. You can see Kaiso teaching Sonny Chiba at the end. I think this is a truly fascinating glimpse into the history of SK.
Obviously we want Shorinji-Kempo which is a combination of fighting techniques, a philosophical component and some minor aspects such as stretching exercises and gymnastics. Do Randori, Kihon and...
Looking at the videos on youtube, there seem to be very few decent Randori video clips. There are lots of good embus and demonstrations, but Randori seems to be almost absent.
Do you know of any...
Thank you very much for the link, so sad I can't read Japanese :cry:
But I am taking Japanese lessons, so maybe someday I will be able to understand it ;)
.. is there any more available? I ask because there seem to be loads of footage of founders of other styles on Youtube etc., but nothing of So Doshin.
And I think I have read references to footage...
I think there is some information in
this article
I would like to thank you all for visiting Switzerland. I really enjoyed the weekend, good instruction, lots of fun and Aosaka Sensei talking about how his wife forces him to say "I love you"! :D
But I don't take it as a source about bushi-lifestyle. I take it as a collection of philosophical reflections, thoughts and anecdotes which was its original intention. Btw, I read the aforementioned...
Thanks to everyone for their quick replies!
True but most of the posters who originally raised these criticism basically did it by throwing in derogatory comments.
I agree that the...
First of all, English is not my native language. Please consider this while reading my post.

I have been in Bali twice and there you can see the manji on almost all of the temple walls (there are more temples than houses in Bali).
Thank you for sharing this story. I think it is a fascinating tale and some of its lessons seem quite similar to what Kaiso taught.
"Guko moves the mountain",as told by Kaiso:...
Congratulations to all of you!
