Re: Tachi-dori. Tachi-dori (Or muto-dori) in koryu jujutsu of the unarmed vs. armed variety is a rarity*, but it does exist. Within the ryuha that do train tachi-dori unarmed in their various ways, it is usually the zenith of their repertoire of skills. Some ryuha during demonstrations have "wa...

Hey! Less of the old, you'll hurt my feelings... ;-)

Hi Steve, I think I remember you mentioning that, in Japan, if you refer to yourself as practicing jujutsu form example - people wouldn’t really understand what you mean - so you would mention Judo instead? Point of Gordon's story really - Wado ryu Idori is closer to Judo in this respect, although,...

Best,

Would that be the same with kumite/Gumite, Kata/Gata?? shep In the Japanese language, a number of words when suffixed have a phonetic syllabic shift. Some words starting with a "K" (Ka, ki, ku and so on) when suffixed start with a "G", "S" words start with a "Z&qu...
