Sorry about that, I just saw your response ;)

In any event I just sent a PM to you about your questions.

We might be out there late this year, but beginning of next year is looking more likely....

I know that this post is a reply to something written over 2 years ago, but I only stumbled across it now :look:
Anyways, I thought I should respond to it for the record:



Don't take it...

Part of the problem is that it's not always "muscle" pulling/doing the work. ;)
And that's without getting into the fact that the musculature is simply being used differently.

Find someone that...

Man...what a trainwreck of a thread. :D

Jack:
a) Ueshiba created Aikido, he trained in Daitoryu

b) BK Frantzis may have seen "daitoh ryuuuu" or something, but then again there's a lot of...

There's an ok description of Shiko here at the Sumo federation website:
http://www.sumo.or.jp/eng/kyokai/kenko_taiso.html

They don't include specific instructions for how to work on weight...

I dunno, I put out exercises for people to try on Aikiweb, as well as an article on human movement as it relates to Martial movement ^^;
Give it a read and tell me what you think. I'm pretty...

Well, if their movement and strikes didn't feel that different/disconcerting, then maybe they weren't that skilled. Be nice to know what skilled people of other styles you were comparing your...

Alright, so putting aside the whole "prove this or that" stuff to the side, what was your impression of those people you trained with?
Did you get a chance to recieve their strikes?
Was it push...

Thought I'd jump in here as Chris decided to ask some pretty basic, but actually valid questions coming from someone that doesn't have these skills


Sure, but the context you gave, namely someone...

Well, Koshi isn't just that area, it also covers the small of the back as well, which is why some people get it confused as being the "hips" i think.

The coccyx is important for myself if only...

Hey guys :)

Jeeez, I like poke my head into this long dead thread, and all of a sudden its fired up again :)

Anyways, it was great having you both. Hope you get a chance to drop by again...

Nathan,
The twisting from hanmi to hanmi description was awesome...caused me to remember something else I'd thought about after seeing that show.

Individually I thought the show touched on some...

What kills me is that they have alllll that equipment at their disposal, and all they can do is show a) oh look Rickson CAN really break someone's arm by armbar
b) A samurai sword is ht3 dead1y
c)...

Damn...
Wish I realized earlier that this party had started.

Btw, this might turn into a mini-rant directed at no-one in particular. Just some thoughts that I wanted to unload off of my head.
...

Just quick commentary, (this isn't a criticism), but I've found that while playing with the timing of breathing etc can be interesting, ultimately you're trying to study how to affect the other...

You so clever Daviiid...

I meant to imply the training angle after I've competed myself.
Wouldn't do any good if I can't own up myself right?

Personally my venue of choice would probably be...

Not that it matters,
But just to make it clear, but the kind of training regimine I refer to is more inline with what you consider to be "concrete" methods. There's nothing vague about them, and in...

Sure, I'll agree with you there.

But what I'm trying to say is that maybe, just maybe, there's a more efficient training method that's waiting to be discovered. And while not everyone can reach...

Ok, dude, no where did anyone ever say it was paranormal.

All I said was that the graphs pointed to a more efficient transfer of energy.
So, no Ark would not be able to collect the Randy prize ;)...

The show was done on TV Tokyo, and no I don't have the date etc off the top of my head.
I'd have to ask for the title of the TV show (now defunct I think), but it was just another one of the million...

Thought I'd relate a story where Akuzawa WAS measured scientifically (gotta love the buzzword) on a tv show, about 9 years back.

The topic of the particular TV show was that Kyokushin Karate has...

Funny you should say that.
Ark once made the analogy of having 10,000 rubberbands connected through your core.
One rubber band pulled to its max will break. But 10,000 of them together make for a...

Good point :)
In fact, its been mentioned that the reason this internal stuff works is because well, we're human :) We stand on two legs, have a spine that supports us etc. The kind of force...

Just thought I'd throw this into the discussion.

Chris:
I'd agree with you that internal movements are a form of "technique".
The reason I think, that certain accomplished teachers talk about...

Lol, I knew I stole it from somewhere ^^;
