what is Tomiki-Ryu

[bushido_man96]

I would like to see how one of those tourneys run.

to be honest it looks kinda weird.. they two guys, one with a fake fubber knife and one without.. and you are supposed to counter and get the opponent down with out getting cut/stabbed.. and this is Randori free practice.. just like Kodokan.. that is all I know for now.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Here you go.

Sorry about the music.

That is interesting. Different. It does show you what is likely happen when you go to defend againts a knife, though.

yep, nothing is better than the real thing..

Also, my instructor told me today that in Tomiki-Ryu, all the close range attacks are Judo and the more distant moves are Aikido..

[bushido_man96]

Hmm, that is an interesting idea. I guess most of Judo's techniques don't mean much unless you are in contact with the opponent. Aikido does do a lot of techniques that entail incoming strikes.

I was talking to my Aikido instructor and I was talking to him about one of the recent topics of this forum..and I asked him if he could mix any 2 or 3 styles, what would they be.. and he told me Wing chun and Aikido.. he said they would be great together cause of the redirection concept in both of them and wing chuns effective short kicks and trapping..

I had never heard of this, with the sound of the name i thought it may not have been genuine. Well you learn new things every day

Sounds very interesting though.
