Kind of an endlessly answerable question really, as after only 3 replies you may have guessed. Budo has a literary definition, but as martials...
I'm not really saying they wouldn't/couldn't work together, having studied both (although only limited in judo) i just find them to be totally...
what a strange question! dude, if you need to ask, are you ready to actually work responsibly? As the last post said, take the 1st job, and if...
interesting to see 2 people suggested judo 'as a complement' to karate??? I couldn't think of a bigger contrast personally. hard art vs soft art....
Dave, whenever i read one of your well-informed and well-educated posts, i conjure up the image of a well-balanced, skillful and humble high...
....because i get to wear a skirt :rolleyes:
They've added other arts to their timetable? As i write this i'm about half a mile from shudokan on Haydn Road. I know we both agreed on this...
