Hi Steve,
Thanks. I practice something that has a spear aspect, so I was just curious about the kinds of things that you might do in jukendo as conditioning for spear work.

Hi Steve,
Great to hear about your new dojo in the UK! I'd love to check it out, but unfortunately I am a couple of oceans away =)
Is there any kind of fundamental movement training that is...
My condolences also to Mark's friends and family. I always learned a lot from his posts about judo. He was a class act. I too was wondering the other day, why I hadn't seen any posts from him in a...
Jack,
You wouldn't happen to have video, would you?:)
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the update. Does the book profile any solo training/ki development type training?
Best,
Tim
There's a lot of irony in the fact that so many western ''seeker'' types chose to dive into budo, and especially, Zen. It is ironic because in my experience these seeker types tend to have fairly...
Dan,
In the end I think it's about ownership. I was serious when I mentioned democracy and the free exchange of information. Ultimately, to train the way we are talking about is to own one's...
Okay Jack, who would those people be who are applying traditional koryu body conditioning to modern ring fighting?
Hi Jack,
Really? There aren't any current day Japanese martial artists using special body conditioning? There aren't any people taking the core from ''traditional'' systems and applying it to...
Jack,
I strongly disagree with your post. In fact, I think your post provides a clear example of the attitudes and beliefs that have nearly eliminated the transmission of unusual bodywork skills,...
From my perspective (looking up from the bottom of the teacup) the different exercises seem to be variations around certain principles. The shapes differ as the various tactics differ. Depending on...
Nathan,
Isn't there a mention of ''in-yo-ho'' in the Deity and the Sword series? I know the book definitely mentions 5 element theory.
Jack,
Why do you care whether someone is an ''established" authority or ''recognized?" I guess the real question, is "recognized by whom?"
This isn't the practice of law with a hierarchy of...
LOL. Geez Jack, it's almost like you don't realize that plenty of people have gone to work out with Dan and his students and come back with glowing reports.
And Dan isn't the only one showing...
There will also be several seminars in Europe coming up in April. I think in France and Holland. You can email the Aunkai for details.
Yep. Sorry if I gave the impression that he wasn't doing Systema any more. My bad.
Hey Alec,
Cool deal. I heard about the seminar in NL. I have a lot of respect for the martial arts community in the Netherlands, since it seems to produce a lot of top rate kickboxers, karateka...
I am back from 9 days in Tokyo training with Akuzawa and Rob. Last year there was quite a bit of discussion about Akuzawa's Aunkai method here on E-budo.
Aunkai Review:
The Aunkai folks were...
As an American , I think it's fantastic that the US team won.
Kendo, judo, taiji, wing chun, basketball, whatever, no culture has the lock on winning. It's all movement.
Kit,
McNamera was chief of police in San Jose for about a decade I think.
He's famous around these parts also for being very...anti-firearm.
'nuff said.
Strozzi-Heckler clearly has a big influence from EST/Landmark education. I could tell by reading his book, since I have a few friends who did the training and so I'm familiar with the lingo.
I am...
Yep I saw the article. It doesn't really explain how to move any ki at all, at least that I could remember when I read it.
That exercise is very similar to one that one of my friends used to...
Yep. Still around.
I feel like they've never really reached their potential.
It's too bad.
