that's AWFULL.
I don't even know what else to say... :mad2:

Same here.
(only thing diferent: "local" sensei is 300 km away)

Yep.
You're right... so it's gotta be... :nervous: Choi?

I thought the two others were Lee & Kim...

Teramooooooooooooooto.

I voted nanahome.
is there anything cooller than cutting someones belly open :dead:, sliding right to avoid the inevitable flood of blood and guts from staining your clothes,

got link?

because last time a saw do with one knee on the floor was in an old movie made during a 1930's kendo tournament, aaaaand I don't think orishiki-do is considered valid these days.

Não, mas há gajos que por vezes, neste forum, se comportam como uns palermas. Será o teu caso?

Funny thing, that's not at all what I thought after reading Alex's Brief Synopsis of Kendo. You're sure about that? Also, the Dai Nippon Teikoku Kendo Kata were also created by a Butokukai comitee,...

Maybe I didn't explain myself well. I know sometimes (a lot of times) my english it's not the richest one... just like my sensei's portuguese is not the best.
But what's important here, IMHO, it's...

Because...?

Abramo I think it's somewhere around there: brio, presença, (boa) postura...

I once ask my (japanese) sensei what kigurai was, and back then he didn't speak much portuguese, so he gave an example. He said:
- The emperor (of Japan, of course)... you look at him. He IS...

Just go 3 posts up (starting from yours) click the link that says: Seia Ryu Heiho. :D That should do it.

I don't think Scott meant there is anything of that kind. In my opinion he just stated something he believes is (based on his experience) a fact.
And I happen to totaly agree with him, by he way.

How about someone who says, and this one is true:

I had the flu, so that's why I didn't show up for pratice the last 4 months :shocked:.

No, it's a diferent Ishida. The one on Nat Geo is Kenishi Ishida. The one with Taniguchi sensei is Toshiya Ishida.

Well, my sensei always says that no matter what (fast or slow), the bigger the cuts the better. And that's valid for everybody, kyus and dans.

I would love to see that preliminary heat:

10 - Teramoto (jap) x W. Kim (korea) x C. Yang (usa)

Nope, St James (in Portuguese, São Tiago).

It's not from CR Boxer, and I managed to get acess to one.
thanks anyway.

European influence on Japanese sword-fittings: 1543-1853‎ by Charles Ralph Boxer.
By any chance, does anyone here in the forum owns a copy of this book?

Okaaay... so now that things quiet down a little, here is a small tribute to MM. My all time favorite ippon. It's from the 46th all japan, semi-final against Harada:
...

Hell, I think he was very well coached.
I don't know who did it, but certainly did a great job. He looks very :cool:.
I don't think the killer-lightning-fast-sporty-kote-kaeshi-kote Miyazaki...
