I felt extremely privileged to have learned this directly from Crafty about 9yr ago when he came to SIU for…
Wonderful drill. Crafty has a way of explaining things that resonate with me. Some can do,some can teach,however….very few can…
Note that as our theory has evolved, we may well prefer the “moon shot” over the fist of the cross.
Ooooooooo. This speaks to me lol. Thanks for sharing Punong Guro! Love the utility and danger of the shearing shots…
What I am seeing there is the first one is the whole combination, then a breakdown of the combination step…
This article repeats.
Mike is special.
Wow, great to hear Dogzilla being so candid with his experiences. A valuable perspective/insight. That potato story was amazing.
Gold stuff. Thanks for posting the video. Really like the ability you show to throw a moon shot, a cross…
Indeed. With knee shots, the opponent’s stick must be accounted for lest one trade one’s own head for a knee…
My pleasure– indeed I wish more people would participate as you do here. I would add that having well-founded confidence…
There also seems to be a truism, that when you look at it, it is so simple is almost stupid-easy…
Thoroughly agree. I can also share, however, that for me and my main jiu-jitsu buddy who learned a bit from…
“Takes untraining.” Interesting observation! I would offer that a big element here is reading the opponent’s structure. How are his…
Good question. The short answer is that our exp erience has been “No worries”– with the one exception of a…

I agree Guro, great movement training and Staff is also great for instilling natural movement patterns for empty hands.
I was wondering when you were going to get to close quarters, but it’s all very good curriculum!
I’m with you.
I am fortunate to live in a place where walking sticks are normal. My Sensei likes hiking with the Aikijo…
Salty Dog answered a question I had when he mentioned his cup!
