No need to rush, be natural. A gentle but consistent effort will generate gradual progress. As you find your flexibility and get to now your body better, you will know how far you can stretch, how much stretching you need to do, how long it takes to generate a certain result, and so on.

Arigatou gozaimasu!

I think you already have a lot of good answers from people here, and I agree that your session of 20 mins, twice pr. day is reasonable. I will add a few comments: 1) I recommend stretching after a hot shower. In the morning and after training. 2) I find slow stretching, with deep breathing to...

Hey Bob. I noticed the Jinenkan link was old and broken. Here is the correct one: Jinenkan Honbu Dojo Best regards, Asher.

Hi Regis. I believe the Jinenkan Dojo in New York, Mahopac has a Shibu-Dojo (affiliated training group) in Brazil. I do not know which town but, you can contact them and find out, I am sure. Kan Ryu

Regarding question 4. Your closest Jinenkan Dojo-cho (instructor) is Scott in Arizona. The rest are over by New York, Pennsylvania. Good luck!

Welcome Sir. Hope to meet you out there in discussion some time!

Yassine262626: You are very welcome and good luck Sir!

*Drop bear's first answer....

Hi there! I am fine, thank you. As Drop Bear's answer reflects, it is a vast question to ask. However, when you say "an art" and "learn the culture and history", it seems like a traditional martial art would be something for you. But again, there are many traditional arts still in practice...

Welcome! Sounds like good arts you have chosen. I also practice both arts within my curriculum! Enjoy ;o)

Dear Starmada. Welcome to MT! I think you are absolutely right, MA can help you in many ways. I also think Tai Chi is a good choice for you. It is a very grounding and calm way of learning movements and mental focus. It is however very rarely (as far as I have experienced) taught as actual...

Here's a short explanation of my current method, however, I am constantly evolving my "routine". I put explanation marks on routine because I try to keep it all fluid somewhat. In the mornings I practice 2 different forms of Qi Gong (approx. 30 mins). I find Qi Gong helps to build up internal...

Regarding this question: So… you want to be here to be informative, but getting into deep discussions of aspects of the areas you feel you can be informative about is not what you're interested in? No, it's not like that. I recommended the book for the accounts of Samurai actions upon other...

Oh, sorry, I meant Chris - not Simon. Now, really, you cannot judge my ability to be informative upon the duration of my membership within an organization. Nor do you have the right. Nor am I willing to defend that ability here on this thread. Time will have to tell. Please, let's stop this...

I joined MT to be informative on Japanese martial arts, Bushido, meditation, to name a few topic's - and also to spread the word of Jinenkan London's existence. I never really wanted to get deep into discussions about politics, objectivity vs. subjectivity, correct use of the Japanese language...

Hey there, and welcome. I just joined last week also. Seems like a good place so far ;o) Keiko ikkan!

Also, I recommended the book to refer to Samurai culture and ethics and to the question regarding their right to be judge and jury. These are topic's it describes quite well, from a point of view, obviously. Yamamoto has his opinions but, the stories are objective in their own right, for anybody...

Also, I recommended the book to refer to the culture of the Samurai and the question about their right to be judge and jury. This is a topic it describes quite well, from a point of view, obviously. Yamamoto has his opinions but, the stories, in themselves, are objective for anybody to read. I...

Hi Chris. I have only read one translation, and it was good. I don't follow you regarding the right wing thing and also, I don't understand what you mean about "removed from reality". Yamamoto Tsunetomo is telling stories he has seen or heard about. Am I not correct? Harakiri (kun'yomi -...

Good topic - sorry for arriving a little late. To go back to the original question - and to give "the simple answer": Yes, it was a samurai's responsibility to uphold the law and he had the right to kill. The samurai was also accountable for unfair action, and also for not acting, where acting...

Thanks again guys, good to meet you all. And of course, I will do my best to participate regarding topic's of general martial interest.

Wow, thank you all for your warm welcome. Already feel at home here ;o) I would love to tell you all more about Jinenkan. So if you have any questions - fire away! Will keep my eyes on the ninjutsu og koryu forum for your Q's. Kindly, Kan Ryu.

Hi MT.com My name is Asher. I am an instructor for the martial arts organization "Jissen Kobudo Jinenkan" and I run Denmark's only official Jinenkan Dojo. It's a small non-profit Dojo with, currently, nine students. I am set in Copenhagen, but was however born and raised in London. I have known...
