Basically, that's correct.
For sure there are some gun nuts, etc. And maybe I live a slightly sheltered life (but I don't think so), but in my experience, the "gun culture" is magnified greatly...
Perhaps, and perhaps not. Notice: "The Jan. 29 incident wasn’t the first time James had seen violence from her husband. Several years ago, he stabbed her in the neck." If police had been called,...
"Gun culture" is a media take on this, largely built by the media.
I don't own a gun, to my knowledge, no one in my family owns a gun. I have - on occasion - fired a few (oddly, none when I was...

I think this is the quote I was looking for. If not, it's close. I saw it a few weeks ago looking at old threads, and thought it contextually applicable to this topic.

Did you manage to contact anyone? If not, check your private messages.
Well, there is something very practical about learning to not freeze, and to move when something is coming at you.
Thanks for the many years of service Nathan!
NO WONDER. That explains a lot.
It seems like I read an article on this, I was pretty sure it was at toyama-ryu.org in the history of the art, starting with gunto soho, and later evolutions - which I can't recall. That site...
I wasn't degrading Aiki-web, or that wasn't my intention... There is a different 'flavor' in each. For "non-aikido" related topics, I have enjoyed e-Budo, perhaps because I found it first, or...
Frankly, when it went off-line, I had assumed it was due to the inactivity.
Aikiweb still has quite a bit of activity, but I prefer e-Budo.
Igor: I'm curious, what is your interest in Daito Ryu - as a fan/enthusiast? Is this a cultural pursuit, historic, something else? Is it limited to Takumakai?
Thanks very much. You've provided me some good suggestions. I'll see what I can add to my library...
Thanks, for clarificaiton, I wasnt' intending to recommend these, rathere list what I have, and solicit input for what I "should have." ie, what I am missing...
Good morning:
It's been quite here for some time. This post might belong in "Budo Book Store," but maybe not since I don't have anything for sale.
What do you consider "must reads" for the...
He's a reserve officer/"reserve chief" if I saw this correctly.
It pretty much looks like he is there for a "ride along" from the few episodes I have watched . . . does he actually get involved? And...
It's available on Netflix: Season 2, Episode 7.
That sounds about right. Not being a LEO, I'd like to be a fly on the wall during the conversation between those officers and their supervising/training officer after this video surfaced. This, by...
Thanks. I guess I'll just have to get over the white cover - which seems prevalent for this type of shinai.
Has anyone done business with these fugindesign.com, or specifically purchased one of these :

Aikido24 carries a fukuru shinai, but does...
Cool! Indigo will be fine. It's a bit expensive, but they will probably last longer than cotton so it is probably better...
Thank you.
Sadly my Japanese is severely limited. And I have no kanji . . . But thanks anyway.
That should have been in Black. I am not sure how I ended up with blab. I sometimes have trouble with my I Pad.
