Probably not many - but we're not talking about being professional, are we? I don't think anyone who trains a couple of times a week in their...
That is true, and I suppose one martial art will always be the "side" one as people are unlikely to cross-train equally (except perhaps in MMA). I...
Good to see some ideas and difference perspectives flying around already! @dunc insecurity is actually what I first thought as well, but I...
I regularly train in the Bujinkan and my instructor, like many who has been in the Bujinkan for a while has trained in a few other martial arts...
I don't know what it's like in your location, but here in the UK universities often have a range of different martial arts on offer at a heavily...
Hello from London Tom and welcome to Martial Talk! I haven't been to Winchester in a while, how's it doing these days?
If it's during the day time and there are people around I wouldn't mind getting involved, just to talk to the people and see what the problem is....
For about 9 months or so I've been training in a school of Jujutsu that is very strict (at least I feel it is) while still training in the...
Sorry to "necro" this thread, it's been a rather busy few weeks for me. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the information....
I'm curious as to what people think about chokes, strangles and their safety. I think I read somewhere that in some Judo and Jujutsu classes...
Agreed Tez, I do not have anything against it personally - I've trained at clubs in the Bujinkan and TJF Jujutsu who have both done and not done...
Just wanted to finally say what I thought as well (got a bit busy there for a couple of weeks). Things that I can't comment on like Japanese and...
Thanks for the in depth analysis Chris, I will bear that in mind. All I can say about the lack of formality is that the sound of that reminds me...
Thanks Chris, so basically what I've been told is correct, that it is just patched together? Do they practice wrist and arm locks (especially...
Hello guys, Apologies if this is one of those topics that has already been discussed at length, but I had a search through the site and could...
Hello guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this dojo: Time Place I am interested in doing some training at it, but my instructor...
I thought this post by Elder hit the nail on the head with regard to discussing limiting those with mental disorders. Even the scientific...
Looks like lots of good advice on this thread so far. I have asthma, and although it affects me sometimes I have largely outgrown it. As some...
Personally I think it depends very much upon the situation. I would be very cautious about going into an enclosed space (if entering at all),...
One I like is to thrust your hips and head backwards while moving your arms up, which gives you space to grab one of the legs, pull it up and sit...
I think perhaps that more sporting arts might be rising in popularity. At my university the MA clubs organised an MA day which involved all of the...
Ah, never mind on the first bit, I have now found what it is. It seems like you're doing the right thing to try and get it sorted, and I hope you...
Does this eating disorder sometimes go by another name? I've never heard of an eating disorder under that name (I'm a Psychology student), only a...
Hello, I am quite new to Ninjutsu (been training for about 1.5 years), so I am sure some more experienced people will correct me and/or give you...
I had a look at that early, tried identifying the dips in light and it kept telling me I was wrong. Then when it showed the answers, they were...
I contend that it is relevant but dependent on the scope of the discussion. I did not give "a load of hoo hah" about everywhere being evil; in...
Yes, sorry if it is not clear, but that is aimed at Bill. I do not intend to derail the thread if he is purely interested in the pragmatics of the...
No. Perhaps I did not explain it very well, but religion is tied in to the culture of the country. So it is not just dependent on who attends...
I do not have a bias unless what I have read and observed is biasing. Sure, I don't know everything about the situation, but then I never claimed...
All I offer you is a different perspective. I find it abhorrent that you don't even care if you are the "bad guys". Most people want to actually...
Separate names with a comma.
