Re: Hiromasa Setamatsu

Not to talk badly about another school, but it seems as though the introduction of roundhouse punches may bring unwanted results. http://www.youtube.com/v/aY5xSMvHDgk?fs=1&hl=en_GB&border=1%22%3E%3C/cke:param%3E%3Ccke:param I can somewhat sympathize with Acer because I had this same thought ...

Kata

Is there really such a thing as running kata backwards? Ive been told it's a way to fully gauge whether you know a kata. There is also running kata, starting on the right side. I can understand the importance of this. A practitioner shouldn't favor one side. But backwards seems to escape my grasp of...

Lineage

Came across this website's attempt at outlining Otsuka Hironori's lineage.

Sad not to see any jujutsu lineage there.

Re: shukokai punch training

I have no idea about Shukokai, but if something violates the laws of nature, it's probably not good for you.

Re: First Wado class!

I'm reading green with envy. I really miss class.

Glad you enjoyed it. That was my reaction coming from a harder (among other things) style before as well. I'm sure you're never going to want to leave wado now.

Enjoy.

I think the biggest disservice of any club is to promote themselves as teaching viable self defense in one or two sessions. That's total baloney...
