Jon,
First off, welcome to E-Budo. One of our hard and fast rules here at E-Budo is that we sign all of our posts with our full names. You can either do this manually or you can setup a signature....
Mr. Goldsbury,
Thank you very much for your reply to my inquiry. I too agree that one of the joys of E-Budo is that we can learn about various Koryu, Gendai arts and related topics. I believe that...
Over time we have had several threads dealing with why people should start Aikido, what they can gain from it and so forth. A question that has intrigued me is,“Why do people continue practicing...
Hello once again, only this time I am located a little farther East than I was before. I have been absent from E-Budo for the last month due to my relocation to Japan. I have finally been able to...
I too would like to offer my deeptes condolences to anyone that lost someone they cared about in the cowardly terriost attact. In my opinion this and any other place is a perfectly acceptable venue...
Christiaan,
No need to apologize, many people make the same mistake.
I for one am not familiar with the term "Do-in". It is possible that the same exerciese may be know by a different name in...
Christiaan,
Welcome to E-budo. Please include your full name in each post. You can do this by either setting up a signature or typing it in manually each time. Thank you and have a great day.

It must have taken quite a bit of time to get so many icons in one post. Unfortunately, I tend to agree that the liberal use of icons might be a slightly over the top. If you should happen to re-word...
JackoUK,
Welcome to the Aikido Forum here on E-Budo. Please use your full name when submitting replies or starting threads. It is the rule here on E-Budo that we all follow. You can either enter...
Tim seemed to always have something constructive to add to the discussions. His posts were consistently of high quality and quite informative. I will really miss his participation here on E-Budo.
...
Toyoda Sensei will be missed. I too would like to offer my hear felt condolences to his family and friends. I have fond memories of the seminar, which I attended, out here with Toyoda Sensei and...
To agree with Mr. Ledyard, YES, USE TSUBA. I too have cracked a tsuba clean in two. Basically, if I hadn't have had the tsuba I probably wouldn't be able to write this reply as quickly.
Basically,...
I too agree with Peter (different point though). Full names are a good idea so that we know who we are talking to (it is also the rule here on E-Budo).
Looks like quite an interesting discussion...
I couldn't agree more about drinking sake quickly. I learned this the hard way when I attempted to drink a sake that had been in the fridge for over a month. Needless to say it made a nice cooking...
What Mr. Hooker and Mr. Amdur said makes perfect sense. I have noticed over the years that when striking a tire the rebound or bounce back has caused me to develop some rather odd habits that were...
Nicholas,
Thank you for posting here. I was getting quite lonely waiting around watching the tumbel weeds roll by.
Last weekend I did try a Daiginjo for the first time. To see if there truly is...
I have found these devices (our dojo refers to them as makiwara) quite invaluable in my Aikido training. It is one thing to swing a weapon in the air yet quite another to strike an actual object.
...
Ummmm..SSSaaaakkkkeeee. A little ashamedly I must admit that I know absolutely nothing about sake except that I like to drink it. In fact it has become my drink of choice. I developed a taste for it...
Emil,
Look around, try different dojos and find what works for you. This is how I found dojos throughout the world.
Also, please use your full name when posting. This is one of the rules here...
Greg (aikigreg),
Welcome to the Aikido Forum here on E-Budo. I have heard some good things about a few of the dojos mentioned. Sounds like you are in luck.
It is the rule here on E-Budo that we...
Over the last few days I have been following this thread quite closely. Due to the fact that I know little about Taiho Jutsu it has been quite informative. I agree that for now we should leave this...
Mr. Hartling,
IMHO you will not find many people in the US that are really good at SMR. Of those, both Meik and Diane are amoung the best. I am quite envious of anyone that can train with either...
As an avid collector of books I agree that they are definitely useful. Over the years I have used them as reference when trying to remember something I had been taught in class or to get new ideas....
G3,
