Any Martial Artists Here?

This is my new wallpaper.

 

:lol:

 

Beautiful hair. Very Very Nice hair NATALIYA, there must be something wonderful they put in Ukrainian shampoo.

 

NATALIYA, I sense in you from your printed words a warrior woman. You are gem for any man who is sensible enough to recognize the strength of being not only independent in your thinking, but the beauty that you display in your personality for all to witness. Welcome.

 

Shocking, positively shocking

 

Pettyofficerj, my note showed up in your message on the use of mobility. I do not know how that happened if you are wondering.

 

Martial Arts for Liberal Education. Should it be taught in the American school system as a Physical Education elective from Kindergarden to the University level? This is the case in most asian schools where it's mandatory. One such idea below using Aikido, among many I will present here.

to be honest, some martial artists refer to the masters as 'professors,' and you can get a bachelors degree in an art in Asia. The martial arts have exams, intense amount of study, and so forth, so I wouldn't see why it would have no place in the American system. You can major in just about any other thing, why not Karate or BJJ?

As for the note, im not sure what you're talking about.

 

As accredited courses of study under a curriculum. Whether it's under physical education, a part of asian studies, or a separate course of study that includes the practicum, asian philosophy, psychology, human anatomy, kinesiology etc... all into one program of study. The instructors would have to be certified by the school sysytem to teach. We know that those who are reputable will have the background and experience and not be fakes as we see so many are today. I know of some Universities like the University of Conneticut is moving in that direction. That is what I'm talking about.

 

on the real, there are martial arts classes you can take for credit at Pa universities like Penn State and Drexel. I never taken any, but some of the doctors and professors, pull double duty as instructors. It goes to show you the scope and impact martial arts have on us, from the common man to PhDs and medical doctors.

 

This is similar to what I was going to propose to Hampton University from an old post, but never did anything with it. Just an idea at the time for a Martial Arts program at a two year level.

 

everything starts with an idea man

but what's going to separate you from everyone else is whether or not you act upon it.

at the minimum, you could try to open up your own dojo, or help teach at one that's already established, and work your stuff into application that way.

 

I have trained in Aikido and Judo since junior high school. For the past 3 1/2 years, I have trained in Hapkido. In a few weeks, I will be training Brazilian Jujutsu - and continuing in Aikido. I visited two Ninjutsu schools - which I've always wanted to learn; but it will be a few years before I have the time.

 

Sir, you are inspiring. I will do as you suggested of opening my own school someday. It will serve as the catalyst based on the model of a learning institute. It will emphasize developing the total person. Right now it's a dream. But someday I will make it a reality. Thank you Mr. Pettyofficerj.

 

Excellent studies in the grappling arts. It will take a lifetime to learm them all. I have friends who are taking Hapkido along with Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do. Aikido and Judo from the founders Morihei Ueshiba and Professor Jigoro Kano are true sciences of beauty and effectiveness. Great additions to know to compliment your studies with the striking arts like boxing, Tae Kwon Do and Karate. Keep it going as a way of life.

 

I find Ninjutsu fascinating - and scary. Aka-i-ninjutsu (good); Kan-aka-na ninjutsu (evil). The Kuji-kiri ("nine hands cutting") - is really something that discourages me from Ninjutsu because so much is not self-defense; rather, something far more sinister.

 

Daniel couldnt fight worth a shit..but the Karate Kid was truth

 

The Russian Martial Art of Sambo

I find the russian martial art of Sambo (no to some of my fellow blacks, it is not what you think) interesting.

I find the world's grappling arts whether it's wrestling, judo, sambo, aikido, hapkido etc... to be a fascinating part of the martial arts. This separating the martial arts based on the idea that one art has all the answers is pure foolishness. You need the striking arts as well as the weapons arts, with a touch of throwing, holding and ground fighting thrown in as a good measure. Bullies beware a movement is coming dedicated to you.

Let's try this again. If not then back to the drawing board.
