Cheng is Yang form, the large movements give it away to me anyway, to confirm, google gives what you asked for. His bio is at the link below

This is further back in time frame than you asked for, but it's a start.

Ken, Please let me know what I can do to help as a moderator
Thanks for keeping e-budo up and running!
Dave, My liver and kidney's have only just recovered from the last one. But send me more info, I'll see if I can make the time to get away. Hi to Big T too.
Dave,
Quit drinking cheap Scotch, the good stuff won't make you puke. Oh, and quit watching youtube while you drink it.
OK, Matthew studied at the Tacoma YMCA. Fujiko Gardner and Mike Bissionette are the sensei there, both ranked in Icho by Bernie and ranked in aikido via Isoyama. What they teach is at heart,...
I never heard of this, but did a quick browse through "Hagakure" and "Bushido" since those are the books most people who expose rules like this typically refer too as the source.
Couldn't find...

You guys had it easy. When I was a kid, my parents and sensei made me go and pull nails out of the neighborhood fences and then break into the local high school at night to use their metalshop to...
Wayne hits on the reason I filter very hard on potential students and why I do some digging on them before they get on the mat. Hell, even then I still have personality conflict issues cropping up...

And upon Dr. Friday's note, I think that about sums it up. I've been a bit tired of Mr. Scardina's posts for a while but let these go since inane questions sometimes lead to very good responses out...
Bujin has closed was the last I read.
I like SDK Supplies, and Kim Taylor's gear. I've not seen anything by him that wasn't well crafted.

Grant,
I've encountered the same petty personal agendas I can't remember how many times over the years. And I don't have any real connection to DR. Reading and researching history of the arts will...
Sorry, this has been going on for a long long time. I can recall the same crud going on back in the early 70's. Get Stan Pranin's DVD with back issues of Aiki News and do some reading.
A friend of mine on SPD with about 20 years on just transfered to SWAT. He told me he's got a lot of learning to do and has to work to suppress what he thinks he knows since it's not valid.

Well, lets put it this way...

This site is for men on food. According to stuff on the site, it turns out men tend to be more patient in the time it takes to prepare food and enjoy preparing food...
Nope, that was going into a handstand and then falling into ukemi. Had to test out the subfloor and tatami properly.
I spilled some beer on the tatami to bless them shortly after this.
As some of you know, Icho Ryu classes are conducted at Seattle School of Aikido and there has been some remodeling done of late. A new heater, new better window shades, some planned ventilation...
If anyone would know, he would be the one.

Doug,
Does that mean in Japanese "There can only be one."?
That anyone on a martial arts internet forum actually knows anything :D
Peter Urban was one of the people who helped to spread the myth of karate and it's use against armor. Look up his comments in "The Karate Dojo". He also helped spread lots of other BS stories like...
