Found this animated list of basic Judo, thought it a good overview? http://www.judo-alfter-bornheim.de/Wurfbilder/wurfbilder.html

Hey folks, I'm obviously new here. Stumbled across this website while researching a place to join in the Lansing, Michigan area. I did Shorin-ryu for about 7-8 years a while back, with occasional Judo lessons here and there. I've wanted to get back into martial arts for awhile, but school and...

Greeting to all. I have red some Karate history and some say they come from the Shaolin Temple, my question is. Are they any kata that have the same movments or are similar tu chinese forms???

Last match of the last day of the Fall Grand Sumo Tournament and Hakuho defeats Asashoryu to force a playoff between the two Yokozuna. They are getting set now for this tie-breaker match and the excitement is building!!! Just minutes to go!

There is a style of Okinawan Karate that comes from the Matsubayashi branch of Shorin ryu, called Kishaba Juku. There is not a lot of info on the internet, so I was wondering if any one on here could tell me a thing or two about it? Thanks.

I've heard that it's quite possible, even usual, that those who go to Japan to study ninjutsu training get killed during lessons. I love martial arts and I used to practice taekwondo. My son, who is crazy about ninjutsu, wants to go to Japan for training and I am terrified because of what I have...

Check this clip out: YouTube - Endureciendo Nudillos Those hands are nuts! Old style training I guess. This Ninjutsu branch, which has nothing to do with Masaaki Hatsumi, is supposed to train very, very hard. Style is Banke Shinobinoden. Man in video is Jinichi Kawakami (very old video of...

Before the Ki people get their ribbons in a twist or the Aikido puriststs soil their gis!! this is not about Aikido vs Taekwondo. It is about Rik Ellis a student of the ``Ellis Schools of Traditional Aikido`` who also studies MMA. Rik was prepared to take his technique and positive spirit into the...

found this nice looking vid YouTube - Katana Demonstration any tips from anyone would be apprieciated what sort of stuff do you use to practice on? etc....

I thought this would best go here, because it seems the weapons section is for kung fu. (that's what it says) So, do I have any fellow shuriken wielders? If so, how do you guys practice? I personally like using self made hira shuriken on trees. You get a certain satisfaction when you make...

Enjoy! YouTube - wnnwkd's Channel

Does anyone know why the split between Hayes & Hatsumi? Why did Hayes feel the need to break away from the Bujenkan Association and start this ToShinDo (TSD) system? Seems illogical to me. Is TSD doing good? Is Hayes doing better than he was when he was affiliated with the Bujenkan? Whats...
