Black Belt Adventure...: March 2012
http://martialnews-blackbeltadventure.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 March 2012. Yesterday I read a comment left on one of my recent posts on my personal blog (My Journey to Black Belt), Joint locking – how useful is it really? By an anonymous commenter, which accused me of having a ‘beginner’s mindset’. I say accused. Because the tone on the comment was clearly an attempt to patronise or insult me. This is the offending part of the comment :. 8230;….”. This is just an excerpt from the comment; visit the post to read the entire comment). It refers to having ...
Black Belt Adventure...: When is a dojo not a dojo?
http://martialnews-blackbeltadventure.blogspot.com/2013/02/when-is-dojo-not-dojo.html
Tuesday, 5 February 2013. When is a dojo not a dojo? 8230;…when it’s a club. I used to think that a dojo was simply the place where you did your training, whether that is a dedicated traditional dojo, a school gym, purpose built training centre or your own basement or garage. However, it seems that a dojo is much more than just the place you train. A “spirited assault” involves a lot of hard, physical training, self examination and reflection as well as personal reading and research. Sue is the Blog-Edit...

Friday, 1 March 2013. One body, two minds. We often talk about the practice of budo but what exactly is budo and what is its purpose? My current understanding of budo is this:. Ego is an interesting concept; it has several definitions related to the human psyche and I think that only one of them is relevant to the subject of budo. Ego is defined as: The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves. Pride in oneself; self-esteem. What’s wrong with egotism? While your ego is busy controllin...

Monday, 30 January 2012. Kiai – something you hear or see? Isn’t it strange how you think you know what something is only to realise years later that your understanding was a little superficial? There’s always more layers to everything isn’t there? Kiai is a case in point. Back in April 2009 I wrote a post called Power of the kiai. In which I quoted a definition of kiai as ' a projection of sound fused with energy or spirit'. Define it as a ‘spirit shout’. In yourself when you have it. Kiai is “...

Russian Martial Arts: June 2012
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 June 2012. I am happy to say I was invited here to write a blog; it is an honour for me to write my thoughts and for you sportsmen and women to read them. First I will run through things I have trained in, some to lesser or greater extent. I should add I have been active for 38 years, I am now aged 46. I began in a type of karate/kung fu called Kong Chang in the 70’s. I then trained in Japanese ju-jitsu and kick boxing. Before I knew where I was I found myself in Russia training and competing&...

Street Edge: Realistic training & some tips!
http://martialnews-streetedge.blogspot.com/2011/12/realistic-training-some-tips.html
Tuesday, 20 December 2011. Realistic training and some tips! Getting back to the point, most martial arts systems teach how to defend against attacks, usually in the manner of “the attacker grabs you, you do this defence”, “when the attacker punches, you do this”. Now if we relate this to a sandwich all we are getting here is the filling. Remember we are trying to control the whole situation, not just the physical attack. Your physical response. How have you controlled your attacker? If you have used an ...

Core Reality: The Basics of Verbal De-escalation
http://martialnews-corereality.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-basics-of-verbal-de-escalation.html
Saturday, 1 September 2012. The Basics of Verbal De-escalation. Then I notice a third party come into that conversation and get a little too close to NFN1. His head is moving like a woodpecker or some kind of hen pecking at something and he looked at NFN1 and said," You pulled a gun on his dad? A teacher disciplining a student;. A parent with a problem child;. A stewardess with an angry passenger;. A manager with a disgruntled employee. To me this is always better than physical force. Physical force ...

Reality Bites: August 2011
http://martialnews-realitybites.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 14 August 2011. From Nothing to Something. Ivory towers and soap boxes, the two worst problems in my opinion in the martial arts world today; or to put it another way: politics. Respect also seems to be another value that’s missing lately, not just from the martial arts but from all areas of society and what is even worse than this is those that demand respect, they seem to forget respect has to be earned. Of course it could be that I’ve been having a lot of bad experiences lately. In modern time...

Reality Check: Just how realistic and fit for purpose is your self-protection training?
http://martialnews-realitycheck.blogspot.com/2011/11/just-how-realistic-and-fit-for-purpose.html
Monday, 14 November 2011. Just how realistic and fit for purpose is your self-protection training? The thing is, I'm fully aware that these are indeed nothing more than harmless daydreams, we can all choose to have them at times; it's nothing more than harmless escapism. The problem begins when people choose to have these hugely delusional thoughts in areas of their daily life that really should be approached with reasonable rationality and a basic cognitive thought process. A few months ago I had the pl...

Tuesday, 15 March 2011. The Virtues of Bushido. As an instructor whom trains with the Japanese katana I have often been asked my thoughts on the code of bushido. Whilst I have great interest in all things Japanese especially feudal fighting techniques I make no claim to fully understand the spiritual development of the fighting men of Japan. After all I am not Japanese and I am certainly not a samurai. The general feeling is one of friendship and the pursuit of correct knowledge. People, but from yourself.

Tuesday, 20 December 2011. Doki Doki Festival, Manchester 2011. Guest post by John David. After receiving a welcoming invite to attend and demonstrate at the Manchester Japanese Doki Doki Festival, martial artists from the Bukido Dojo and other martial arts dojos were about to embark upon something that is different from a traditional demonstration. Now captivated, onlookers were treated to displays between students from the Shōsha dojo and Bukido dojo, in which the bo, hanbo, naginata, katana, tanto, nu...

Friday, 4 May 2012. The Foundation and Structure of Learning. This is something that is all too common that we will revisit later in the article. For those that haven't read my other articles I've been involved in martial arts since I was 4 years old back in 1977. For the last several years I've developed programs for Law Enforcement here in the United States. This gave me a greatly different perspective as a teacher and really changed the way I look at curriculums and structure. People retain things bet...

Kobudo Korner: Fundraising for an old Master
http://martialnews-kobudokorner.blogspot.com/2011/11/fundraising-for-old-master.html
Tuesday, 15 November 2011. Fundraising for an old Master. Cheque presentation to Aspergillus Centre. October is a busy month for me, and my family. Not because of Halloween or the build up to Bonfire Night and Christmas; it’s a month when we fund-raise for my late father’s charity: The National Aspergillus Centre in Wythenshawe, Manchester. October, I made people aware of my intentions and everyone was supportive. Before my father died he was studying at the Open University and unfortunately never found ...

Tuesday, 5 February 2013. Putting things into perspective! A post from the Aikiweb .com forum 19. July 2006, posted by David Chalk:. A father passing by his son’s bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made, everything had been picked up and the room was tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed “Dad”. With trepidation, thinking the worst he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands. Love, your son, John. Links to this post. It is co...

Tuesday, 30 October 2012. Who are you to say? I was having an interesting discussion on the issue of disabled people taking part in MMA and boxing the other day. As you may be aware there are plans to have wheelchair bound fighters compete in both disciplines. Yes, I can see that it might make some feel uncomfortable, some squeamish and some think it’s immoral. Click here to read more. Links to this post. Wednesday, 18 July 2012. BULLYING IN MARTIAL ARTS. And in the case of many people this may be true.

Thursday, 6 June 2013. I'm a woman, not a small man! Do you think that martial arts are institutionally sexist? I’m not saying that they are or that they’re not, I’m just asking the question. I sometimes feel like a square peg in a round hole when it comes to my training and the harder I think about this the squarer becomes the peg and the rounder becomes the hole! If I don’t think about it then I fit in perfectly well in my club and don’t perceive there to be any problem at all. Have I confused you yet?

Saturday, 1 September 2012. The sound of koto. Fuyuki Enokido with the koto. Being a martial artist I not only practice the arts but include some of Japan’s values in my life. I’m not the type of person who can turn up for class, train and forget about it all till next week. I find the culture and history fascinating even if it’s to just get an insight into how people used to live their lives during the times of war and peace. We were made aware that Fuyuki had played in over 30 countries and had just be...
