double woven or triple woven.tiger claw gi,s.their heavy and sturdy.ive had my gi for ten years,its a little worn out around the coller but its lasted threw some tough times.

depends on the person who studys it and who teaches it.

white gi top and black hakama.

i live in galesburg il u.s.a .its mostly traditional jujutsu and shorinryu matsumora karate,theirs also a kuk sool won school in town also.

i agree

what goes through the minds of inpressionable youngsters who view violent techniques.after all,they are the future of marial arts.they see the hero,or bad guy,brutally knock or throw his/her opponent to the ground.the loser lays unconscious as spectators cheer.would a youngster be the good guy by violently striking or throwing a schoolmate who gets in his way?when society condones violence as fit for the eyes and ears of youngsters,it is society who is resposible for the influences that violence gives.the dangers of sport competition are numerous,if the offensive techniques taught in sport comp fell into the hands of a person who would use them on innocent people,he would be well versed in the art of attack.Or if an evil person were to watch a competition event,he could easily remember techniques and use them on who ever he/she wished.from the humanitarian point of view commercialism has turned these once honorable self defensive arts into violent fights.i wont lie,every once in a while,i dont mind watching the ufc but everyone should keep in mind one of the most important factors that deal with this topic , our youth of today,for they are the future.

it took me 4 yrs to reach my 1st degree black(shodan).thats training three times a week,sometimes more.

most ninja would wipe poison from tree frogs on to their shuriken so when the blade penatrates,it posions the person.causes cardiac arrest.

i just learned tessen waza from my insrtuctor.it was pretty simple to learn,i guess thats why it works so good.the jappannese fan.ive never learned chinese fan .

bo shodan

theirs a dojo in largo if i remember correctlly,but im pretty sure its jappannese jujutsu.i remember looking it up in the phonebook when i stayed in my girlfriends condo in indian rocks beach.

welcome

it was a very good movie.i love them all!

no,its not as scary as it looks.before you start training techniques,the instructor will teach falling techniques to show you the proper way to take a fall.after you get familiar with falling,your instructor will throw you but will support your weight by holding your body weightup so that you wont hit the mat as hard as you think.i started training jujutsu when i was your age and i remember thinking the same thing.give it a shot,what do got to lose?good luck!

jujutsu was one of twelve classical systems taught by samurai.i belive aiki jutsu was their style.for reference,here is the eleven other systems... ba jutsu(art of horsemanship) battojutsu(iai jutsu)(art of drawing the sword)bojutsu(atr of wooden staff)fukimibarijutsu(art of blowing needles)hojutsu(art of ginnery)jutte jutsu(art of sword defence)ken jutsu(art of agressive swordsmanship)kusarigama jutsu(art of chain and sickle)kyu jutsu(art of archery)mojiri jutsu(art of entanglement useing a sodegarami spiked pole)naginata(art of long halberd)ninjutsu(art of espionage and stelth)shurikenjutsu(art of throwing wheel shaped darts)so jutsu(art of long halberd)suieijutsu(art of swimming in armor)tanto jutsu(art of the dagger)torite jutsu(art of captureing and binding).i hope this helps.

your instuctor should should advise everyone in class that when pain is felt,to simply tap. tap on the mat or on your partners bodyand if your hands are not free to do so,use yor feet.

as much as i can!

id have to say "Cabal" by clive barker and "weaveworld" by clive barker.if anyone has seen the movie Nightbreed,then you should read cabal,its the same thing but way more in detail.

i cant stand rap music.i think its a phase every kid goes threw,i like to call it MTV syndrome.thier are a lot of young kids being influenced by gangsta rap.should we influence our youth to join gangs,sell drugs and commit crimes?because that is exactlly what happens when a 14 yr old kid listens to the stuff.rappers are proud to talk about all of these things,bragging about how they carjacked this guy or how him and his partners jumped this guy and even brag about how much money they have made selling dope,which in my opinion is one of the most ignorant things anyone whos envolved in criminal activity could do.ILL JUST TELL THE WORLD I SELL DRUGS,thats ridiculious! ive heard 4 yr olds come up with better ryhmes than half of those guys.its all junk to me,but thats my opinion.

judo!!!!
