They're physical and coordination exercises based on internal martial arts principles.
Classes at Shen Wu are as follows: Shenwu mixed class is 3x/week, Sun Style Bagua is 2X/week, BJJ is 2X/week, Xing Yi is 1X/week. Tai Ji (Sun, Yang, Chen), Ba Gua (Gao Style), Xing Yi (hebei,...
I was there. They were two amazing fights. The first guy was an undefeated brown belt from the Pedro Carvalho school. The fight was so intense that it left both guys (Tim and Rommel) exhausted. ...
Wow, this never really ends does it? Between arm chair theorizers and actual practitioners I would probably listen to the practioner. You can read all the history books you want about aiki and...
No human anatomy wouldn't be any different. So what's the point of wearing silly costumes?
The fact is most guys who train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are tough!
What people don't understand is how phenomenal Tim Cartmell is with the martial arts. This is a guy who was basically the best student of every teacher he has had, has mastery of COMPLETE systems of...
Great post Kit! :-)
What makes me yawn the most is the Roppokai stuff...5 minutes of that and I'm asleep! In case of insomnia watch DR Roppokai.
I don't think Roppokai even comes close to what Systema is, any...
Hey Jellyman,
I know what you mean. Sometimes you've just got to thump them. :-)
I wouldn't compare Systema to DR Aikijiujitsu. That long video clip is not representative of the whole art. I think it's just some high level skill that maybe Ryabko has fun doing. I don't think...
I've seen other Systema and RMA videos and to be honest I enjoyed watching them even the esoteric stuff. No doubt Ryabko and Vasiliev are skillful guys and I look forward to meeting them one day to...
It looks very interesting. I'd like to see it in person. When's the next Sytema seminar?
Effortless Combat Throws is a great book. I think you should all look beyond the samples demonstrated in the book and read deeper into it's content. Tim said a lot of very important concepts,...
Hey Greg,
Who cares? Just train. You obviously read too much forum junk and not train enough.
Kit,
It doesn't get any better than that!!! :laugh: Holly...
You do have the coolest job in the world! I'm going to start planning for a career change.
Hey Kit,
How is it that you get to post so many times? I figured that you should be out arresting someone or training. :D You must have the coolest job in the world. You get to have your cake...
:laugh: So basically you lied.
Wow. This thread is still going...
Hey Maximilian, I didn't know that anyone can get an MBA in Philosophy. :confused:
Could you list the source of the accounts you have compiled? It might...
I wish some aikijiujitsu guys would fight in a submission grappling or Mixed Martial Art tournament. Personally I'd like to see somebody show the effectiveness of aikijiujitsu techniques against a...
Toby,
Thanks for the apology. You've always been a true gentleman.
"how do you explain Don's separating the jaw of so talented a groundfighter as James Williams during freestlye matwork or...
Hey Toby,
I don't remember being asked to leave or of being expelled from the Yanagi Hombu dojo. I left on my own accord. It was the most difficult decision of my life. I don't know how stories...
>many Tokugawa period documents lament that the meaning of old kata have been completely forgotten since no one retains the first-hand experience of how they once were applied. That said, even koryu...
You'd be better of studying Ba Gua Zhang. In Ba Gua there are set forms, two man drills, solo drills, and rou shou (a type of push hands) and san shou (kind of like randori) They have joint locks,...
