Uncalled for from a sporting perspective and/or fighting perspective??...Biz had really gotten under Hendo's skin. In Hendo's eyes and mine, Biz got what he deserved. Was it nice? No. They're in the...
Good question, I would have to weigh the totality of circumstances to know for sure what I would do but I understand your perspective.
I think we agree, simply stated, that it's a shame those of...
I meant violent and sexually hardcore. I don't think depiction of rape in a game will influence those with a strong mind to go out and commit the act in society. My preferred games nowadays are GTA,...
These are games; I've played video games all my life, watched violent and sexually hard core movies all my life (since about age of four-I had four brothers) and it didn't descencitize me to any...
So what privileges or rights does that give? Can a soshi give a menkyo kaiden? That was more my question.

Now I understand your question's perspective. I'm not sure whether...
Ole,
Soke and Menkyo Kaiden are not the same...Japanese lineage is difficult. :D Okamoto San, I've read, uses a term "soshi". I'm not sure what that carries.
Anyway, (I guess) he could...
This is generous math; many hours are spent "booking" suspects; paper work consumes a huge part of a police officer's work. Even if you account for overtime, one must consider court time, testimony,...
If you want to fight well drunk, then drink and train while intoxicated. The obvious effect is that your reaction will be slower with alcohol (classified as a 'depressant'). Luckily, I've been the...
A "few" in ratio of total members to "credible" members.
I'm not criticizing koryu members or non-members; if someone is a koryu member and "expert" or "delegate" in that koryu, then by all means,...
Point well taken, my answer would be "very few", myself included and no offense is intended. ;) I will not issue an apology because I'm simply criticizing the logic, not them. I'm arguing, you can't...
Paul,
Like I wrote before, I'm writing from an "old school" perspective and writing about PUBLIC opinion. Of course, you should have your own opinion but you keep it to yourself until you've paid...
As an add to Dr. Abrams, the book also notes sparring is part of practice at Shindo Ryu dojo and describes how kata came through in sparring for Ushiro Sensei.

I think the use of the term "liar" is too strong. Certainly, Ellis isn't calling Tokimune a liar since there is oral history claiming Saigo did train in Daito Ryu. Differences in accounts come from...
Excellent commentary Mr. Slocombe.
Speaking from an "old school" perspective...
The interesting thing about the commentary criticizing Mr. Williams as against classical/traditional/old school...
Eric is indeed an alum of the Renshinkan (later Shofuku) school and I consider him a good friend. In addition to the Renshinkan, I've trained in other Daito Ryu schools and with many Daito Ryu alums...
Nat,
I agree with Eric on finding a group of people you enjoy spending time with but I disagree that Tomiki and DRAJJ are the same game. For one, it depends on which Daito Ryu school your speaking...
Marc,
I'm getting a bit away from your post about Ushiro sensei's book...
I've cross-trained with a few TaiChi instructors. I feel their energy (ki) is "explosive" meaning they push me away to...

Maybe not a Japanese sensei but this is a Japanese forum so let's say we're dealing with Japanese people. If there is logic to Japanese etiquette, then present a formula that will help William ask...
Maybe. My experience, and I have many, many of which are known by users on this forum, has been that there is absolutely no logic that can be applied to Japanese etiquette. So much in Japan, not just...
David,
Excellent commentary. Thank you for saving us minor posters and lurkers the trouble of having to hold that opinion back any longer.
All,
A student of mine had mentioned that this...
I haven't read other forums to know what is written or by whom but does this mean that Dan is finally opening up a public dojo?
I know this horse has been kicked to death but in all sincerity and...
Mary,
Just for the record, please note that before Nathan Scott posted the notice of John Denora's death, the last post was from August 2006. Since Nathan has posted the notice, I don't think any...
