There seems to be a growing understanding. Robert Drysdale has released his book and a movie is coming, following on the books by Roberto Pedreira and at Global Training Report.

Brazilian (Gracie) JJ starting to properly recognize their roots:

Depends on what you study, and how deeply you want to engage with it.

Modern arts and sports - probably makes little difference. Jiujitsu has less of a connection to the Japanese (not Brazilian)...

Not to drift the thread, but not really destroyed if people like you are still here, Mr. Gatling. Fantastic interview with Seido. The kind of lost and unremembered knowledge that E-Budo preserves.

Oh, certainly - We are also finding out "What Kano doesn't want you to hear" from the work of current scholars - great website here.

Endlessly fascinating. All jujutsu.

Interesting article at BJEE.

Enlightening. Roberto Pedreira and now, BJJ master hand Robert Drysdale are correcting the record as far as Brazilian Jiujitsu goes. Pedreira's book series, and the...

Incredible life and very topical.

Heh. Yes I am afraid the world has passed us by. One day E-Budo will be the electronic equivalent of finding a dusty old densho in a bookshop.

I think in the sense you are describing, it makes...

If I may....

If you are speaking about this as a motivation for training, I don't think there is necessarily anything bad about it.

But if you are thinking beyond that, I'd suggest...

I just gotta say, I love your baby in the background! Starting early with the 見学!

Made me smile. Sounds like its rough over there. Stay healthy, and stay training!

Hey buddy!

Yeah I don't Facebook or 'gram or anything. Just my blog and some private stuff. I have a few people that send me stuff from social media from time to time, mostly tactical world stuff...

I tend to agree as well.

Agreed wholeheartedly!

Had trouble getting logged in and let it slide. Anders has helped me get back. Not a lot of traffic these days I know but still a lot of relevance here.

Absolutely, Jim, my blog post was based on conversations over that article. And thanks for your input.

Working with weapons - especially live weapons, such as a shinken or live firearm - demands a...

While I have long carried firearms as part of my work, this year I have been making an effort to raise my ability, as I feel a lack. IME, modern firearms are just as much a martial discipline as the...

The MMA in pads they are basically doing. Looks like an interesting combo.

Interesting stuff there. Chris, do you know if that sogo kakutogi stuff part of their practice?

Which begs the question: why then have a teaching that says use a sageo for a TQ? Modern adaption that crept its way in?

Interesting subject, thanks for the discussion, men!

I'd use it if the alternative is to bleed out. From our modern perspective it is a bad choice of equipment, from theirs, I don't know. It would be fascinating to see any manuals or other teachings on...

Fascinating replies, thanks gents!

Okay some serious thread necromancy but this has been something on my mind recently.

What about the knot securing the loop which goes through the kurikata?

This would seem to be a problem, in...
