Thank you very much
Dear fellows,
Since a long time I didn't write here. Now I'm quite away from Japanese martial arts (it seems I retired :p) but now I'm writing for asking you some help for a friend. he is looking...
Dear Simon,
I think you got the point. At any time it seems that skilled experts sensed the need of complete their studies with different systems.
So the questions are:
- Can an art be...
Dear fellows
I don't write since long time, but never stop my practice. In the last few weeks I was lurking around the web when I came back at the site of Master Patrick Augè (International...
thank you very much
I'd like to know some info about the BRDJ
- Are present only koryu or also modern gendai budo schools (till 1970s obviously)?
- Any page for Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu?
- Are considered also the...
Dear fellows,
I don't know very well Serge Mol, the author of several books about kenjutsu and japanese weapons. I'd like to say if you can trust information in his books.Someone said to me it is...
Yes, Steffen hits it on the nail!
Thanks for the contribution. I liked your historical point of view. I'd like to clarify my opinions about the last two points. The absence of records can be related to the focus only at the syllabus....
To kim. The points you stressed are interesting and was already considered in my search. This is what was answered to my questions about these points
1) (a self explanation) The art of fencing is...
thank you very much for every contribution.
For Ben... I gave that impression after some stages and meetings all over Europe. I practise Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu and in many occasions it...
Dear fellows,
since several days I'm wondering about the free sparring practice in koryu. is real possible that in many koryus there was no free practice? Are the kata enough to prepare the warriors...
Threads found. Thanks to all!
Dear fellows,
I was wondering about these two objects and I was speculating about their use in koryu. I haven't ever seen any densho or school that includes them in their syllabus. Any feed back...
I'd like to remark also this quote of Scott sensei's text. I think we must reflect if the contemporary martial arts world needs more innovators or more students trusting their tradition
Thanks for your post, Mr Scott. I totally agree with you. The knowledge of Dento is basilar in trasmitting what we call "living tradition". I think the "dento" part of the martial art helps not only...
Thanks to all for the replies, expecially to Mr Karinja- Your news are very valuable and they helped me a lot in my personal research
Dear fellows,
My question could sound strange, but I'd like to know if in 1920s and 1930s anyone reaching the shoden or chuden level also gain a densho. Can somebody help me?
It is easy to understand why this prohibition is so common. I think you can recognize at least some focus points
-the reputation of the school can easily be damaged by a long series of matches in...
dear Scott sensei,
can you tell us where the book could be bought?
Approaching the problem in an absolute view, thin or thick is indifferent. As previously said by other fellows, it's the personal approach that makes difference. Is a thicker tsuka than a thinner...
Thanks Mr. Orange for this contribution. I totally agree with you. These are the same information I colletected in these years about the technical and didactical development of the arts taught by...
Dear fellows,
I confirm the presence of Tanto Happo no kata in Yoseikan Sogo Budo method. I follow Carniel sensei (from Switzerland) and he still teaches this kata. It is totally different from...
In your experience what is the best wood for making a makiwara?
I have to make one for a friend of mine and I think to use pine or fir
I suggest you to contact them. They are very kind and they'll try to solve the problem
