Will a throw really work in a self-dfence situation?
Student says:'John!" <Poof-Genjumin appears:-)> Yes? The throw could be Koshi guruma from Judo, but sounds more like a te waza(hand throw,) perhaps more like tekubi nage(hand neck throw from Aikijutsu do) or even a tenchi nage (heavenand earth or 'splitting' throw from Aiki or shuai chiao.) As ...

Van:'Always remember it is the projection of weakness that brings on the beating.' Yep. Bill:'As Fonzie said,'at some point in your life you need to have hit someone.' The Fonzie character was a glamorized ganbanger, a hoodlum and a thug.To be a successful thug, you do need to have hit/stabbed/shot/...

watered down?
A Nother thought, kata is a vehicle fortraining, not an end in itself. In older times, one kata used to be taught and practiced from three to ten years as a vehicle for training.
