Thanks for doing the write up for me their dex. It was a great session, even though I was still a bit broken from the weekend in Manchester where...
Nah, bad knees from too much suwari waza from what I could gather!
Stan was rather brilliantly credited as 'man avoiding debris' in the credits at the end. Anyone else think Bruce Campbell has bulked up a bit!?
Believe me, we would! :D
Just a little extra bit of trivia, gi grabbing is illegal in aikido randori shiai. Otherwise we would be entering the realms of judo. Most...
Irimi Nage is a fairly generic name, loosely translating as 'entering throw', although I could be wrong. For me, irimi nage is the 'spin them...
Just saw it last night and thought it was great (Helped even more by the trailers for The Chronicles of Riddick and King Arthur). The fight...

Hmm, I agree with a certain amount of that (hey, I'm as surprised as anyone about that!), but there are a couple of points I'd like to pick up....
