First things first - Ikkyo

I think Takeda & Ueshiba must have derived significant benefits from playing Sumo. While their Aiki may have come from solo drills (some of which were modified Sumo exercises) or cooperative partner training, their ability to apply Jujutsu & Aiki to a resisting opponent must have something to do with their live sumo training.

Know-nothing nobodies in the comment sections often put MMA fighters up to fight their fights. Meanwhile MMA fighters embrace traditional martial arts because they see the parts of it that have value.

This is Wudang. This is Tai Chi.
Here is motion and stillness, speed and slowness, the flow and transformation of yin and yang.
It is the understanding of power, of the body, and of the opponent.
It is about feeling and responding to one another.
True strength comes from flowing with change. ZhangWeili MMA

More of this please. The crowd of other around them are the physical embodiment of comment sections on social media.

This is the kind of man our communities need more of.

In Atlantic City, two teenagers were about to fight while a crowd gathered around them, laughing, filming, and encouraging the violence.

Then one man stepped in and completely changed the situation.

He didn't threaten them. He didn't embarrass them. He simply asked them to look around and think about their futures.

He reminded them that the people cheering them on didn't actually care about them. They were simply there for entertainment.

And he was right.

Those same people laughing and recording wouldn't be the ones dealing with the consequences if someone got seriously hurt or arrested.

Sometimes all it takes is one person who genuinely cares to change the direction of someone's life.

Tremendous respect for this man. This is what real leadership looks like.

God bless him.

Work has been kicking my ass hard but not as hard as ABMVT will. Looking forward to reuniting with Ernie and his crew in 2 weeks.

Today marks my 10th Anniversary with VTKFIA. Ten years ago, my Sigung Philipp Bayer visited the United States. At the time, I was still with my first instructor who soon after moved back home to the UK. When it came time to continue my training, the obvious choice was to train in the WSLVT system with the Phillipp Bayer family and Kevin Gledhill.
