I'm not a writer, but I'm pretty sure it's a really big industry, with a lot of different folks, and a lot of different points of view as to what's kosher and what's not. I've never heard of Brendan...

I don't think there's really much you can do that's "unprofessional" in the book selling biz. Underhanded, yeah, but unprofessional, no. And that Elmore guy has certainly done better than most...

Yes. I resent bad science, and that study doesn't smell right to me. I also resent articles that present individual studies as law, with little or no account of how valid the study was.

I...

Golly, a Japanese guy did a "study" to compare Japanese people to American people and found that Japanese people are better at something. I am truly shocked!

For some reason this reminds me of...

wrt the ZNKR 12 kata curriculum and such, I once, as a tourist, attended this big huge thing that was going on where they were having a lot of kendo, what I was told was grading for iaido (and...

Shoots, I always find these good threads late :o(

I agree with Kevin, owners need to be responsible for ensuring their dogs aren't a danger, particularly to kids. Kids aren't exactly stupid, but...

Well, not butcher for sure, he's wasting too much.

Well, what's on top is usually asphalt concrete. I think some roads have an underlayer of portland. But I've seen a lot of roads that *looked* like they were just asphalt right on top of dirt. I...

Huh? Uh, I'm almost too afraid to ask, but what?

The Gracies are pretty adept at using their own gi as a tool. I learned several chokes and holds that rely on grabbing your own gi to set them. Take away the gi, go shirtless, kiss a lot of those...

not real sure of the value, but an interesting watch:

What stunned me was that I'd been doing jodo for about 6 years at the time I started kendo, and at our jodo dojo we train pretty much exclusively outside (rain or shine) in the grass (with various...

Note: I am a wuss.

Those half-tabi are pretty good. I started kendo a couple years ago, and just kept tearing up the soles of my feet in every single class. I tried taping them, didn't do any...

Don't you be sass'n me none, young'un! I've got almost a decade on ya...

Naw, I'm guessing. I did the same thing that George did, ran "shindomusoryu.com" through WHOIS, it listed the registrant's email (adhenson22@yadayada). Did a google search on adhenson22, got three...

Andrea Henson who trains or trained in Nagoya?

Ok Russ, I agree with you, but you did used to sign all your posts "Russ chan". That's all I'm gonna say. :)

There I was, channel surfing, when lo and behold, as I skim past ESPN2, I see two hours of sumo scheduled. So I recorded them, and today finally got around to watching them.

So, there's an...

I am Abraham Lincoln's spleen.

My opinion is that he's good for America. Because as long as we can guarantee that totall cr*pbags like this get a voice, the rest of us are pretty much guaranteed to be free to voice our opinions....

Heh, at first I thought you meant different weapons in general (jo, spear, kusari gama, etc.), and then I realized you meant different swords. Duh.

Well, if you go from the context that you ought...

could be wrong, but looks same same to me.

Well, you know, people are kind of funny. I can see a certain type of person being motivated by to train because of something like this. The question is, do you really want them as students?

Huh, good point.

I'm sure that Saito sensei was equally thrilled that she was becoming an uchi deshi simply for the filming of the show, and that she was only spending a few days there before running out and...
