I can't state the exact year. I have some material that states 1930 as the year when Zenryo Shimabukuro begun training karate. Personally, I go with the "1930's" -idea, however I find it unlikely...
Shimabukuro Zenryo, an young baker then, begun training with Kyan during 1930, after moving from Shuri to Jagaru (where Kyan lived).
The photo (topic of this thread) itself is interesting....
If bowing is an religious issue, I don't see it as necessary. I know some taekwondo athletes who don't bow (they're muslims) and at least one karateka who doesn't bow (other religious issues). It's...
It's Suparinpei done in Shotokan fashion.
There isn't Matsumura no Passai in Kyan Chotoku's line. Kyan learned his Passai from Oyadomari Kokan.
Chubu Shorin-ryu was an association, not a style (Bishop made mistake on this). Zenpo Shimabukuro is the current head of Shorin-ryu Seibukan. His father, Zenryo Shimabukuro, was the main student...
Carl Douglas' "Kung fu fighting". Actually, one of my friends already did that.
Yes, and I'm sorry about that. I just had this "not again this "peasants against samurai" -story. I've had to correct that pretty much lately, so it was...hmm, a burst of frustration. Sorry.
Karate is not about clothes styles. If he decided to compete and competition allowed (and downright preferred) the stylistic approach, I believe that he was only going by the set rules and using them...
Oh, please...
Ban of weapons was set way before the samurai conquered Okinawa in 1609. First weapon ban was set during the reign of king Sho Shin (1477). It was reinforced by Satsuma clan, but...
I have read Funakoshi's text. I believe that he mainly drove for systematized naming and "change" to the format he did prefer.
Of course it's possible that he hadn't seen the "empty hand" name...
Really? How about Hanashiro Chomo's use of the "new" written way in his publication Karate shoshu hen in 1905, 17 years before Funakoshi went to Japan? (Using the written form in a publication is a...
Ah, I remember you telling about him somehwere...quite a wanker, isn't he?
For a reliable, accurate hunting rifle, I'd suggest you to check the Sako TRG-S in 30-06 or 308 calibers. High quality, reasonable price, very accurate.

I'm Jessik Bracken. With my middle name Mikael, I'm Messiah Angel Bracken, which sounds a bit weird.
Cody,
Your attitude towards hunting seems fine to me. You appreciate the animal and don't want to "shoot some rabbits" for fun.
I'd say that you're doing a fine job. Cleaning the campus area...
First, West-vleteren 12, then a shot of 20 year old Lagavulin with a small amount of spring water.
After that I may need a little lighter drink, so I'll go for Cantillon's geuze.
Religion doesn't have to have anything to worship or any godlike entity.
However, I still don't know how do I take that "it's my religion" -statement. Maybe with a grain of salt.
Japanese dish, preferably sushi and sashimi. I still am a sushi junkie.
A huge chicken or tuna salad would also do fine.
Recently, still, I've stuffed myself with some thai food in a regular...
1: What schools or lineages of Shorin-Ryu do you mean?
2: What kind of kempo karate do you mean?
They're humans - just like you and me. Human can be a rather nasty being. However, of course, if you think that human is an animal (I think so), you could put it out that way as well.
They're...
Of course, the video is horrible.
They are striking to the moral. They cannot fight with power to power, so they give a low blow - with success, it seems to be. People are horrified. That's the...
True. That's why Finns can't compete in drinking in Olympics. They don't allow professionals. :D
An another try...
