That sounds pretty similar to the usage over here too - dojo can refer either to the physical location of training ("I left my bag in the dojo") or the group of people ("Our dojo went to a seminar")....

Looking at my tokuhon, the diagram of hira ken shows two shaded areas - hira ken and nai sho. Given the ordering of the labels and orientation of the diagram, I read this to be that hira ken was the...
This is how I've always done this one. Interesting to see an alternative (correct!) version as Anders describes. I must get hold of a Kyohan one day ;)
I've usually seen this as more of an...
Wouldn't life be dull if we all thought the same? :D
Yes, that could have been it.
Sorry, I was in a rush and not clear. I meant a similar movement for the shusha - the arm is being moved and twisted and shusha moves and rotates around the twist to gain kagite shuho. Shusha's...
No harder than a similar movement for kiri kaeshi nuki...
I think you're being too prescriptive with your definitions. Keri komi must make contact driving forwards; keri age makes contact...
I like the look of what you're doing there - it's an interesting way of looking at the techniques. But I think it's a mistake to pigeonhole Shorinji Kempo so narrowly - as Kari-sensei mentioned, shu...
I've never read the kyohan, and I've never seen a syllabus that went into that level of detail. At the risk of being "that guy", it's pretty hard to describe it in a few words - that's why we always...
Ah, but making it a deflective movement changes the line of the attack, which can stop the opponent from being balanced :D Also, the sticking itself changes the retraction - do it well and the...
Try drawing the attacker forward before twisting so their balance is over the tip of the triangle. This should prevent the attacker from pulling the shoulder back. Then swing under the shoulder close...
The family of techniques that you describe are called goka ken. Ryan's description is very good (apart from his thinking that this isn't developed or is secret!), and is in fact how it should be done...
I can think of at least one club that would do randori for one entire session in three per week, plus additional randori before and after the other two sessions. Split was about 2:1 goho/juho.
...
What gives you the impression that it is the art the discourages these things rather than your particular dojo? From my experience the particular emphasis varies wildly from dojo to dojo - some I...
Of course, the attacking and holding is a fine way to practice while you're learning a technique, but at later stages there should be some degree of resistance during hokei practice as well (and...
I'm sure Sensei Anders will be along shortly to correct me, but from what I recall last time I had this discussion with him:
1. Yes, this has changed and is intentional
2. I think all the...
I think that should be 31st March.
Diving in on this one as I've been trying to teach it this week. Thinking about the progressions in other juho techniques, it seems logical to me that we would use sankaku nuki because the attacker...
Not without seeing the videos. Links please?
Not sure if anyone's picked this up - see about three threads earlier . If you PM one of the mods they can put you in touch.
"Probably the best..." isn't a description of the product. It's a catchphrase or slogan, which is fine to trademark. A description of Carlsberg would be "beer" or "lager". This would not be...
I think the bit the lawyers will argue about (and profit from) is:
UK-IPO
Is the meaning "Shaolin temple boxing" general enough to invalidate the mark? I don't know...
Kari-sensei,
Have you actually seen documents that state this amount was claimed (and paid)? It seems exceptionally high, even for business class tickets (WSKO allows business class flights, not...
And of course - in the interests of balance - how do kenshi feel if their branch is affiliating to WSKO but they wish to continue to practice BSKF Shorinji Kempo? ;)
I was at the Bristol seminar last weekend, in case that's the one Ade means. I don't recall anything of the sort there either.
I sometimes wonder if people take the "Rely on yourself" bit a little too far. In one of the dojos I trained at, we had a kenshi with depression who took it to mean that they should get through it...
