OKIE-DO: Win, or maybe lose. It just doesn't matter.
http://okiedo.blogspot.com/2014/10/win-or-maybe-lose-it-just-doesnt-matter.html
Looking at and writing about Texhomiki Aikido, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Two brothers from the same mother(Judo). Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Win, or maybe lose. It just doesn't matter. They both have a system of relatively safe competition that hurts just enough to respect it. That allows you to dumbass your way into kinetic enlightenment. That allows you to lose to the strong, and see the strong lose. It allows you to find out what works for you, and what for sure the hell doesnt. Ts starting to tighten up...

Mokuren Dojo: Why tanto in randori but not in practice?
http://www.mokurendojo.com/2015/08/why-tanto-in-randori-but-not-in-practice.html
New Schedule and Location for 2016. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 8-9PM at Rejoice Dance Studio,. 1418 Delaware Avenue,. Why tanto in randori but not in practice? We have been told often by our aikido instructors that Tomiki's aikido was particularly aimed at randori - that is, developing a way for aikidoka to pressure test their skills with a viable randori system. And I do think that is. Characteristic of Tomiki's aikido. to a point. But go with me down this line of thought. What is it about th...

Mokuren Dojo: October 2014
http://www.mokurendojo.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
New Schedule and Location for 2016. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 8-9PM at Rejoice Dance Studio,. 1418 Delaware Avenue,. Judo has several different modes in which we practice, including. Tori (thrower) and uke (faller) are defined and tori sets up an agreed-upon technique over and over again. The goal is to get many repetitions, so there is no throwing - just repeated offbalance and turn-in. 2 partners take turns throwing. I throw, you throw, and repeat. If you go into randori looking for tori op...

Dojo Rat: Does Time Slow Down For Elite Athletes?
http://dojorat.blogspot.com/2012/09/does-time-slow-down-for-elite-atheletes.html
Martial Arts, Political Arts, And The Art Of Living Simply. Sunday, September 9, 2012. Does Time Slow Down For Elite Athletes? I think many of us have been in "the zone" where a perfect technique is in play at the exact right "time". The following article from Discovery.c. Om attempts to put it in scientific terms, but something is lacking. What is lacking is a realization of separate realities, which may occur during times of stress, mystical experiences, or in athletics. Analysis by Sheila Eldred.

OKIE-DO: Tegatana No Kata and the Forgotten 19 model.
http://okiedo.blogspot.com/2013/05/tegatana-no-kata-and-forgotten-19-model.html
Looking at and writing about Texhomiki Aikido, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Two brothers from the same mother(Judo). Saturday, May 25, 2013. Tegatana No Kata and the Forgotten 19 model. Basically Tommy had 3 principles of aikido: natural posture, non-resistance, breaking balance. His practice of these principles of Aikido had three areas: tai sabaki, point of contact, and te sabaki. Tegatana no Kata figures heavily in all 3 practices. Breaking away, and nigiri gaeshi. And when separated. Next is the hiji waza...

Simplicity in Kyudo – Green Leaves Forest
https://gaijinexplorer.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/simplicity-in-kyudo
July 30, 2015. The closer we can get to 1 the better. And yet we live within 10,000. How does this relate to kyudo and the practice of shooting a bow and arrow? There are two ways we can go about this:. Technically, and mentally. So we start with a couple techniques to focus on. In the beginning, it may just be learning to move through the. So now we have two things, and I think that’s OK, just hard. But that’s kyudo, it’s not so easy. Grip I can do that, that is enough for now, and I think that is good&...

Dojo Rat: November 2011
http://dojorat.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Martial Arts, Political Arts, And The Art Of Living Simply. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Don't Ask Me Where I Got This Freak Show. These gentlemen are Indian "Warriors of Goja". There are a lot of us that understand how martial tricks are preformed, but this is. The first thing I thought about; If I'm not mistaken, aren't light tubes like this filled with Mercury? If so, the entire place would be a toxic mess. What kills me is the woman judge, who feigns horror at this spectacle. Links to this post. Histor...
