Yeah, lots of folks, even most possibly, do hane goshi similarly to a "bent leg" harai goshi. It's not a sweeping action, it's a springing action with more effect on the hips of the uke, not the leg....

I didn't forget Tosh Seino... I never felt his waza personally though. What a great uchimata he had. I had some hands on with Paul Maruyama though when he was in Japan before he went into the...
Dusty, that memory of the feelings of different people's waza comment just set off a few memories for me... Nelson Cross getting as low as he did with koshi waza that felt like a soft, but firm...
Thanks for the memories Dusty. I recognize lots of those faces. Times gone by... :look:

RIP Sensei. Condolences to all family and his many friends.
Hard decision ... until it's time and then it's the only thing you can do. Take the good you bring in yourself from the practice and put it into whatever else you do, no matter what.
Best regards,
I remember an enjoyable visit with Cornish Sensei many years ago. As an aside, I think both judo and aikido are all about "good attacks" one hundred percent of the time... from both sides.
Best...
Wayne, here's a book that I recommend that's relative to the general subject of learning and teaching skills...

There's a difference in "genius" and expert or master level behavior in some activity. The words often get misused. Expert performance in something can be reached in the approximate "10,000" hours....
Great news Jeff! Take care. :)
Jeff, many people have gone through similar replacement surgery and are doing judo at a 'MEANINGFUL" level. You probably won't believe that right now, until you're doing it. I've been through it with...
There should also be a reference in the Shinto Muso Ryo for Washington State where Philip Relnick Sensei and Nobuko Relnick sensei are located and training /teaching.
Regards,
I was told that Tomiki was yondan when he met Ueshiba and Mochizuki and Ueshiba had little contact on the mat. I think there would have been no judo experiments going on with Ueshiba. I read...
Good post Josh, as usual. I'm glad to see that you're finding what you were looking for. There're many layers to the onion... some very subtle and some not so subtle. "Today's practice must kill...
I also find this book to be very helpful in getting a look into the koryu practice of TSKSR. Of course, everyone should understand that this is not and was not meant to be an instructional manual. It...
What a shock this morning! Condolences to his family. Mark and I had many good conversations over the years... many of them about our friends and judo experiences in common over many years. Mark...
Mark, the way I read this... this is a quote from Pat Goldsworthy who was reminiscing about his experiences. It sounds like he's talking about the clinics that were part of the USAF SAC series that...
Someone just sent me this link and I almost ruined my keyboard! Really good.
Semper Fi,
Tenshinsho-den Katori Shinto Ryu is taught north of Seattle in Woodinville by Philip Relnick sensei.

This has been coming since Charles Palmer pushed for the International Judo Federation's birth. This resulted in many changes that reinforced the growth of kyogi or "sport judo" which resulted in...
Sven (and everyone),
We've been using your well-crafted fukuro shinai in the Jiyushinkan for about six weeks now and are enjoying the practice with these tools.
The Valley of the Sun (Phoenix...
Hi Ellis,
This expression of paranoia seems to me to most likely begin as a defense mechanisim that becomes a habitual behavior pattern that enables the survival and success of the person. I...
Oscar Ratti's wonderful illustrations are the best part of Ratti & Westbrook's books... unless you need a doorstop or two.
Michihiro Matsumoto's book referenced by Peter Goldsbury above is an...
Simple... brainwashing. People are "taught" what to expect and then they comply. I've seen this sort of BS for many, many years. Any decent stage magician or hypnotist can spot "good subjects" in any...
Yes, I'm very familar with these books. Good prices also. They'll go fast I'm sure.
