Kamae Query

[Neil Gendzwill]

Bullshido discussed him but didn't give him the full investigation. If you google him you'll see he also has ticked off the hunting crowd with some really bad how-to videos.

The ryu name translates to something like the ryu of the multipatched gi. The rank in the ryu is denoted by the number of patches and emblems that have been sewn to the gi.

I still think he's full of shit

I'm tempted to buy a gi and just cover the entire thing with patches.

[Maple]

Maybe this man is just to poor to buy a new gi every time he stabs himself. And all those patches are just to mend the holes.

[rfoxmich]

Of course it's one of those natural ranking system. All those patche represent hours, days even, of practice.

How many degrees of inner turbulance can one man stand?

Apparently only five.
Five shall be number of degrees of inner turbulances, no more, no less.
Five shall be the number of degrees, and the number of the degrees shall be five.
Six degrees shalt there not be, neither shalt there be Four, excepting that it then proceed to Five.
Seven is just right out.
Once Five, being the fifth degree, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Ninjer-to of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in thy sight, shall snuff it.

[Wraith]

This is what he needs to sort out his flatu.. I mean turbulence: http://www.mistrys.co.uk/images/imag...9.JPG_4439.jpg
