I looked at the site that Daito-Ryu-fighter summitted to the forum for some information concerning the Martial Arts of Daito-Ryu. www.niagara.com/%7Ezain/html/daitoryu.htmAt first glance I noticed how there was Aikido information on the bottom of a Daito-ryu site. Interesting I thought. I double...

Aikilove do you understand what you see??? The two Uke are blocked without Kodo Sensei touch them. I can tell you just this : He applied Aiki in particular point of Uke body. Ryu-Fighter, The words above are your own words underlined. You say "without Kodo Sensei touch them." I am...

Ryu-Fighter I see by your comment you are missing the point. Without you touching your ukemi as you suggested was done by the teacher to off balance the students in this photo. Sounds a little ridiculous. Like I said it "defies physics" I understand that O'sensei was taped in the same manner...

aiki yes defing the laws of physic no Ryu-fighter, It is quit clear that you are an "addict" (player) of Daito-ryu. The number of years on your study, I think are a little shady but that's not what I'm debating. You say that all the Aikido techniques come from Daito-ryu then why is it not...

Amos, I completely agree with The laws of Karama. Me being new to this realm of earth. Sometimes it is very difficult for me to realize the right and wrong for the give and take purposes. But the Law of Grace I do not agree with, it sounds like a religion to me. Nothing man made can change or...

Hello All, I thought I would have received a bigger response from the Aikido part of the forum by having me ask Shihan Isoyama about Sensei Seagal in his earlier training days. I am guessing that people might think this is an inappropriate question to ask, on the contrary, since I will be...

Littledragon, I can see you are very active lol, a compliment. In the beginning, intern, and ending it is alway most important to study the basics. "American aikido" has lost this concept. Yes that is a whole other topic. The basic of aikido are Tai-no-hen-ko (basic exercises) we study at...

Gi's and Hakama's Hi ya, Lotussan, hakama's are pants or trousers worn in Japan. Some say they were designed to ride horses because of comfort. Nowadays you only see hakama's in the dojo or a special event, like Kabuki (Japanese plays). They can be any color also, I've seen almost every...

SAS, Well as a martial artist, I think it is our responsibity to make this concept a reailty. I think the best place to start is where you live, aka America. There is an old saying. "Saying is one thing, doing is another."

congress We agree littledragon, So I ask you the question. How would you propose this question to congress? For example is it physical fitness, religious, educational, ect...

Do you think Martial Arts should be taught in the the United States school system grade 1-12, the same way they study it in the Japanese school system 1-12.Let me explain. Here in Japan instead of playing sports after or before school the Japanese kids study some sort of Budo Martial Art. The...

David Letterman I concur that a Martial Artist will not put themself in a path of distruction. For Budo is the teaching of protecting all things.So this is just for fun. In the early ninties Steven Seagal said on David Letterman when asked "could he beat Van Damm" Seagal said "Van Damm would...

Is kickboxing a martial art as well? Well I guess I would have liked to study with Master Yip Man. Anyway I will be staying in Japan a little longer now to learn from a Zen master to get a real philosoical apporch as to my Budo Training.

I think Muai Tai fighters are one of the most trained athletes in the world. But isn't it a sport and not a Budo. The Muai Tai camps are stickly for breeding sport fighters. My best friend is a Muai Tai fighter (from Thailand) and he said he had to study Japanese culture in order to well round...

Dragon, True about Remy but we are talking about Todays MA. Of course Bruce Lee is the Master. And what 60 year old legend have you heard of recently to fullfil the spirtual side of all this?

I dont wanna sound like a kill joy I'm curious as to the question. Are we only talking about movie martial artist? Most of the people mentioned in the post have studied Budo. However if we are talking "Best Martial Artist Today." I don't think you people have watched K-1 Japan or Pride...

Thanks for the warm welcome again, You guys/gals have done a great job on this site. Thank you again for letting me be a part of it.

Pop rocks Amos, Pop rocks, I used to chase the ice cream man in elementry school for those things. "G" I wish we had them in Japan. On second thought I wish I could see a Nihonjin, Japanese person eat them. Now that would be an intersesting sight. LMAO

Will Aikido sensei's quality decrease due to time. Rodrigo, Hello and good question, one I think we all ask ourself from time to time. I do not think quality of a sensei who teaches budo, not a "Mc Dojo" will decrease due to a time factor. Example: The teachers who taught O'Sensei had to...

To the question for this post, Well we have no choose in the matter here, Japan HA HA. We all sit in seiza and most of our class time is in suriwaza, old school. So I know back then they really didn't have a choose. I guess it is because of posture, but also the thought, if you can do a...
