Whew!

I've been pouring over all of the Aiki weapons to make an organized notebook for myself. It's coming soon!

Today at brunch

I met up with a friend of mine for brunch today and we talked about her desire to take martial arts lessons. She was very much informed and has decided that she wants to study BJJ. I steered her towards Scott's dojo and I talked to her about some of the in's and out's of finding a decent place to train. I'm going to try to convince her to do some Aikido. We'll see how that goes.

Online study

Now, I can be the man!

Flickr

I added a flash badge with my pics to the page. All of my pictures are actual pictures, so I need to scan the other ones that I have and upload them. There's not much now to see. Training os still a steady thing. Work has sort of cramped my style but now that we're up and going, I should be able to go full gore with my schedule. More news when I get some...

Enough with the trash talk

Read this now.

If you have not been reading Mr. Amdur's blog about O'Sensei's weapons practice, you are missing out on some great research and discussion about the topic. He is trying to end all specualation about the origins of the weapons practiced by O'Sensei and his students, as well as unravel some of the methods he used to attain his power. It has been agreed that O'Sensei is using fajin, which is a tupe of energy developed in Chinese martial arts. This is worth your time to read, I promise.

This guy is a liar

Read this crap.

Dog Fighting

I discovered that the rear-naked choke works great on dogs, as well as people. In other news, Fukiko Sunadomari passed away. Read the Aikido Journal Front Page entry about it here. That's all I got for today. See you on Monday.
