24.01.2022 Diagonal movement day. Anyone spot the theme? And I'm going to say that video manipulation has created the slow motion appearance, and claim that I move a bit quicker than this. Oh, I do a couple more than 12 reps of each exercise on good days.

23.01.2022 This shows how to throw a strong 196kg man with ippon seoi nage. It needs great softness and timing to make him overcommit to coming forwards, and then its down all the way - no picking him up first to hoist him over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDsqMQeSUiA

23.01.2022 Sometimes you see people in the park doing the weirdest things. #tenchinage #bigredteppo #hititbeforeitmoves

23.01.2022 Practicing kote-geishi. And using the same footwork for an atemi followed by a tenchi kinda thing.

23.01.2022 We were honoured by Shihan-dai Brett Nener 7th dan taking the class last Tuesday. Thanks to Grant for being a willing uke and putting up with the soreness at work the next day. As always, its good to be reminded how much more training we have to do.

23.01.2022 I brew training liniments as part of my Chinese Medicine practice, this is the latest, a warming liniment to use before training.

22.01.2022 Bretts finally teaching us paired bokku-to Kata.

21.01.2022 Causing a reaction to use the reaction. It's like making your own wave and catching it.

20.01.2022 Was going to do some fancy editing but in the end couldn't be arsed. Here's some of my resistance band training with all the phone capture flaws. Bicycle tubes are traditional Japanese training tools, modern resistance bands give more progressive loading and better elasticity

20.01.2022 Nice light in Albert St tonight. Looks like the road to enlightenment starts at the Shudokan Budo Academy, Grasshopper.

20.01.2022 An old interview with Meiyo Shihan Tanaka Shigeho: http://www.isbaweb.org//20/08/Tanaka-Shigeho-interview.pdf

19.01.2022 Usually I upload some footage of the sumo new year ceremony to welcome a new year of training. But I cant find any of this years ceremony, so heres a picture of sumo penguins instead. The yokozuna penguin is wearing the rope mawashi or tsuna as though he is about to perform the deizuri so this will do. Happy New Year, training starts on Tuesday.

16.01.2022 Well chuffed to see my old UWA judo training buddy Darcina Manuel fighting for NZ at Rio. I havent found video of her winning her first round bout, but here she is valiantly trying to attack after her opponent shut up shop with a couple of minor scores. The opponent went on to win Bronze. Massive respect to Darcina for her achievements.

16.01.2022 We love our training. We have a good laugh, and we care for each other.

16.01.2022 Slow motion shiho-nage so coach Giles can see what he's doing wrong.

14.01.2022 Getting aiki with the kote geishi.

14.01.2022 At training tonight someone remarked that if you stop thinking how to do it, it works. Thank you, yes.

13.01.2022 Slow motion shiho-nage so coach Giles can see what hes doing wrong.

11.01.2022 An example of what we practice. Enter, strike, throw. Simple, effective, small circle aikido.

10.01.2022 We can develop our aikido by doing a bit of judo. Neil Adams could do tai-otoshi a bit. In this clip he can be seen using the turn of his hips to push and pull, just as we do in most of our techniques. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0BAmgezQWg

10.01.2022 Closest thing to a teppo - the wooden post sumo players practice their open hand strikes on - that Ive found in a Melbourne park. And theres 11 of them, and a duck pond for scenery! Happy training ahead!

09.01.2022 Going to keep this page alive by sharing my posts from the UWA Club page. Apologies to those who follow both. https://www.facebook.com/butokuryu/videos/726306604852779/

09.01.2022 That's it then. I practiced judo here with Sensei Zavetchanos for four years, and the Melbourne Aikijujutsu club started here eight years ago. Now it's back to our park training beginnings while we look for a new home.

09.01.2022 Getting a bit towards the jutsu side with elbow control and a slow take-down. Finishing with a choke.

08.01.2022 We shot this for stills to replace this pages banner, but I got too much into the flow of throwing hard, and failed to display the finer pedagogic points that I wanted too. Lesson learned.

07.01.2022 Happy New Year. Training will recommence Tuesday January 17. Heres the Sumo dezuiri ceremony at Meiji Jingu to wish us all health and good fortune. Sorry for the cheesy music intro, its the best footage I could find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezMpwXzsOs

07.01.2022 Part 2. Resisted weight shift with cat attendant.

04.01.2022 Richard and I tried out the new space last night. We shall be at La Verite Dance Projects on Thursdays now. Theres a big mirror so we can check that we dont bend our backs doing shiko, and take selfies to feed googles maw.

03.01.2022 Happy New Year. Training recommences on Monday February 3. Heres the New Year dohyo-iri at Meiji Jingu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YmqEaDnLvM

03.01.2022 Grainy, unfocused footage. If it were black and white I could pretend it was of an old master. Ude garami done to a jab drawn back into guard.
