What is zip lining?
Click to expand...
a string of wire from point a to point b usually on mountainous areas where either tree to tree you cross while holding on to a wheeled rope or bar and go really fast. we had zip lines on play grounds on the beach. that was a blast. these can be over lakes or deep ponds and fun too. let go and drop into the cold water.
 
Like the sound of it until you drop into the water. I can't swim !

I didn't drop in the water though. I just safely glided a crossed to another tower or whatever. :)

you were higher then at the most 50 ft most likely. when you are on a rope or bar you can let go and drop into the water. these are at times on homes I have read. there was one in city limits that was from tree to tree and had a ladder built into the higher point.

never been to Montana. don't care Aikido despite having a sho dan in it. its really hard to find a usable form of that works and isn't hokey and mystical.

The guys I just trained with say there is way too much watered down aikido that has strayed from its true martial traditions. They hate the flowery harmony stuff, too.

They used a lot of atemi. He even said true aikido is 99.9% atemi. I'm not sure if it was Ueshiba who removed striking, although a lot of dojos teach it that way.

OK, well it wasn't jiujitsu, traditional or Brazilian. It was mainstream aikido. I speak Japanese, and know the difference.

Juitsu prior to kano was? Aikido and judo are cousins,even brothers. .Modern ,what you call traditional is actually a philosphy and much remover from the art of killing in war.older arts aren't. Mma is a return to that. It isn't new.I waa once like you ,aikido is aikido but studying under a rokyku,in Juitsu I see otherwise as he can make his art more aikido like then any sho Dan et. Under a more direct link to osensei.

I was ranked under a system whose founder was under the last student of o'sensei .the other one was nearly as close
Thr master of that art is also soft but he has been at it .his aikido will have a training method but look like the current guy I'm under with accounting for style and body types.
 
I'm lost now. All I'm saying is I just took a special training session in aikido. Not jiujutsu, aikido. If you're saying it wasn't aikido because of the striking, I guess we must agree to disagree.

Nope not at all. I'm staying the idea of the most knowledgeable masters of the three sibling arts all look similiar. I didn't add arnis,which blends into jj as its modern founder studied under a jj master.

Look up wally Jay ,he was soft.94 years old at his death aND see how aikido he is.
 
I'm familiar with Wally Jay and Small Circle Jiujutsu. I currently study Kali, aka arnis, and am also familiar with the technical similarities with aikido. In fact it should make a nice segue as I plan to transition to aikido at some point.
 
Muslim art ,the only one they have that still exists.minadao,is the origin of that art particular on the islands of leyte,of mactan.
