Thanx...this was a nice site. I don't know much at all about aikido, and therefore this thread was a good idea... I think we should have an info thread in all of the style area here to tell the viewer at least something about that style just incase he or she does not practice that style and doesn't know much. It would really be benificial I think
best defence my site I find the best defence goes something like this:- :yeleyes: "right you with the big nose.. yeah you plughead.. CAR PARK 15 MINUTES!!!!!" upon receiving this particularly tempting invite, proceed home and make a cup of tea. .... you at home with tea. pleb in rainy car park. result!!
Yeah, thats just a quote. You're right though, the best, and probably hardest/easiest SD tactic is to not be there at all. Col
Just looked at your site, not much there yet Noticed you practice Shodokan, are you going to be in Skenfirth in May? You may want to look at http://www10.brinkster.com/zephyr1/aikido Col
didnt know anything was on.. thats a mega coincidence. whats the lineage of your name. cos your badge is different. ill check out your site in a mo and see.. rocking.
dammit i cant sign your guest book for some reason.. looks strikingly similar to what we do. its all aiki at the end of the day i suppose, but every school has a manner hey! theres loads of info on our lineage on my site, or the club site www.shudokan.org.uk if your interested.
Shodokan was taken from the style practiced by Tomiki Sensei, a student of O'Sensei. He wished the style be called Shodokan, but it is also known as Tomiki Aikido. These days Shodokan is headed by Nariyama Sensei. Shodokan is usually descrided as an 'in the middle' style of aikido. Not as 'hard' as Yoshinkan but harder than Aiki-kai. The unique thing about Shodokan is the practice of Randori, and that there is also a competitive side. Colin
Hi med, poor codeing on our behalf means that you cant put any apostrophes in a message for our guestbook. I'll fix it one of these days. Haven't had a chance to look at your site yet but will do when I get a chance later today.
i just noticed on my site.. some where between my computer and the web its been changed from 'shudokan' to 'shodokan'... hmm, that ll be fixed tonight. just thought id mention it to avoid confusion
