Greetings Douglas,

I hope that you have had a great summer. I apologize for not
keeping better contact with you the past few months. Its been quite a
season for us.

With regret I must relay the bitter sweet news that our
daughter, Amairgin Leona, was stillborn on July 25th, 2006. Born at
9:42 am, she was 6 lbs 15oz and 20" long. Our beautiful girl. We are
missing her greatly but are doing well, with much support from family
and friends.

We are planning on returning to class this month and are
looking forward to it very much. We'll plan on seeing you this
Tuesday @6pm.

If you could forward this info to the rest of our class members that
would be great. I'd like them all to be aware of Amairgin's passing
before we return. Thank you much. See you soon.

Subject: [baileysacademy] hello from mike again

Hello Camille,

You asked about my returning to class. I may indeed be able to
start attending class with you guys again. My oldest son is just
dicovering the freedom of owning his own car. It seems he may be too
busy to take classes with his old man. If this is the case I will
come running back begging to learn everything I have missed. While
the study of japanese sword is very reawarding i miss the mix of
sword and emty-hand study that you guys get. I can not spare the
time for two seperate schools so the unique class Bailey Sensei
offers is perfect for me.
Class location and times have changed and I have lost track of
the "where and when". perhaps someone could post the info for me. I
would like to drop by for a visit if it would not be too disruptive
to class. Maybe the Big Guy could weigh in on that and let me know
how he feels about a visitor.

Hello to all who see this note its good to be in touch with you
again!

Hi all. The venue and dates for the upcoming Anthony DeLongis
seminar
in Portland have been set. If you can, please check it out - it's a
phenomenal opportunity!

See info below for dates, locale and contact info.

JC

Jonathan Cole

www.revengearts.com

---------------------

Anthony DeLongis seminar!
The venue has been reserved for October 27th (evening talk), 28th
and
29th,
and will take place at the Thomas Edison high school in Portland.
The address is 20 SW Beaverton Hillsdale, Portland, OR 97225.

Also, a change in the training has been made. Instead of doing
blade/stick/knife work as well as bullwhip, we've cut it down to just
blade/stick/knife. Anthony will, however, give a demo on the
bullwhip
and
show how it relates to sword and stick and even unarmed combat. This
decision was made because we didn't want to split the time up too
much. We
would rather good students a solid foundation in one area rather
than
shaky
foundations in a few. If there is enough interest, another weekend
seminar
can be made just for the whip.

To reserve your spot in the seminar it requires that students send
in
a $50
deposit. This deposit is nonrefundable, unless the date of the seminar
changes to a time when the students cannot make it, in which case
your money
will be returned. Checks should be made out to Kendall Wells and
sent
to the
following address: 180 SW 85th Ave. Portland, OR, 97225. Students
will then
be expected to have a check for $200 made out to Anthony DeLongis upon
arriving at the seminar.

Again, if anyone has any questions, please contact me.

And continue to let people know about the event! The more students,
the
better.

Please be sure to contact me to sign up as soon as possible!

Thank you,

Hi Mike and all
Yes in Aussie land they did add a ban and a TAX. the Tax was for
those "collectors and all" at about $150.per sword.
  I think the tax went the way of the dodo bird.
with 10 swords at my home that would be an uncomfortable "tax"
  The attitude of the Aussies was NOT To have ANY DAMN YANKEE HELP.
in Polite terms that they did not use.
  Now the UK has This Looming over their heads.
I think it will in some way pass.
  Expecialy after a few years ago the naked man with a cheep mail
order Katana went into a church hacking away with a few people
injured. some where in Scotland.
  (something to me says ban crazy naked people with swords)
Gangs have been using cheep mail order short swords to cary under
long coats.
  But again Machetties could be used next. then who will stop lawn
mower blades mounted to makeshift handles?
But he could have done the same thing with a garden tool.
butcher knifes could be remounted on 2 and a half foot handles
quite easly. and become a glave.
  what needs to happen is to improve the situation not to start
banning thins that has never worked.

besides trying to kill some one last time I  Checked was Illegal.

late 60s and most of the 70s. It varies a lot by area, but some
areas  have gotten pretty bad. (Most of this information comes from a
monthly  column written by a British historian in Forbes magazine,
I'll see if I  can dig up some old copies if you're interested.)

English parliament also enacted a fairly comprehensive ban  on
private gun ownership. I know the Scottish parliament was split off
on its own to make its own laws for Scotland, but I think that came
after the firearms ban, so I am assuming the ban still holds in
Scotland as well.

problems with gangs, and some of the gangs are using  those cheap
samurai sword knockoffs you see everywhere.

the historical reenactment groups and antiquarians are  very upset by
it and have been trying to fight the legislation.

man who has been studying the I.33 document and George  Silver's
documents for a number of years now (in fact, he just had a  couple
books published by Chivalry Bookshelf about those documents).
>        He said that a ban on swords had been enacted  in Australia
(or maybe one of the larger Australian provinces?), and  when enough
protests had been raised by the collectors, antiquarians,  historical
reenactment & martial arts groups, the government  started issuing
exemptions that allowed ownership of swords if certain  criteria were
met. Stephen Hand said there got to be so many exemptions  that the
whole thing became kind of a joke, except to the people who  wrote &
passed the law who don't want to admit that it didn't do  squat about
some of the real problems. So the law still stands, you  just have to
know the 20 different ways to get around it.

Dear All,

The Scottish executive has recently announced its proposals towards
establishing new laws in Scotland, which include a ban on the sale of
swords. Exemptions are included for religious, cultural and sporting
reasons, yet this is despite a public consultation on the subject
confirming that most respondees were entirely against a ban on the
sale of swords.

The original story can be found at -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/4788881.s
tm

Rational explanations democratically presented to the Scottish
Parliament have yet to be heeded - that a licencing scheme for
manufacturers and retailers will have no impact upon street crime,
this being the supposed reasoning for such proposals and laws being
pushed through.

Such schemes will only incur costs and additional paperwork for
manufacturers and retailers in Scotland while anyone wishing to
circumvent the new `tough laws` can simply order online or by mail
order.

To this day, the Executive has yet to back up its assertions that
swords present a great threat to the Scottish public with any hard
facts or figures.
This means that we are in danger of seeing the Scottish Executive
press ahead with proposals and implementation of new laws based
entirely upon supposition and their own media fearmongering campaign.
This heralds a very dangerous precedent for any new laws being
established in Scotland and cannot be allowed to happen.

The facts are that physical attacks with swords in Scotland are of
course extremely few and far between, forming considerably less than
1% of all attacks with ANY edged weapons.

The Executive would also have us believe that `non-domestic knives`
are a great threat and problem, and is presently proposing a licencing
scheme for the sale of these in Scotland. Again, NO hard facts or
figures have been presented to prove that any such danger exists.

The facts are that most knife attacks in Scotland are carried out with
DOMESTIC knives, these being the cheapest, most easily available and
concealable of all blades available on the street today.
The Executive has yet to back up its assertions with any facts and
prefers to hide behind a smokescreen of scaremongering in the hope
that the Scottish public shall simply follow in deference to its voice
of `authority`.

The Save Our Swords petition was handed in to the Scottish Parliament
last year with over 2000 signatures in total. At that time, the
petition was open only to Scottish residents. Now, we open the
campaign to all and any interested individuals worldwide who wish to
support our cause.

We would like to collect as many more names and comments as possible
in response to the present threat to Scottish culture in seeing swords
disappear from our High Street retailers. If the Parliament gets it
way, any tourist visiting Scotland would not be able to purchase a
sword as a symbolic souvenir of our cultural nation.
Let us not allow this to happen.

This petition is open to all and shall be resubmitted to the Scottish
Parliament with a greater voice and an extensive and detailed covering
letter addressing our most recent concerns.
If you have not already added your name and comments (sensible ones
only please, aggressive or inappropriate comments shall be removed),
then please do so by following the online petition link below. If you
have already added your name, please forward this to as many
interested parties that you may know.

http://www.petitiononline.com/Swords/petition.html

The time to act is now. Petition totals shall be collated for
resubmission at the end of September 2006.

Your time, concerns and contributions are most appreciated and our
thanks in advance.

Yours Very Truly,

Paul Macdonald,
Save Our Swords Campaign,
Macdonald Armouries,
Macdonald Academy of Arms.

Hi folks,

those of you how know me well will know that I am involved with and
practice historical fencing, so I use and carry swords..which up
until now has been perfectly legitamate. Some of you might be aware
that the Scottish Parliament are currently working through a Bill on
the ban on the sale of swords with very strict exemptions
for "legitamate" use. I've taken the liberty of forwarding on a
petition for a campaign to "Safe our Swords" if you are interested-
and I know some of you aren't, please sign this and forward the link
on to parties that you would consider might be interested. I
understand that some of your will not agree and that is ok.
However, I don;t think banning "blade weapons" with stop your
regular bam from knifing someone...I hear the trend is ashtrays
nowaday.

Anyway, I thought I would forward this. Many thanks.

Looks like it is only open to UK residents but there are plenty on
this list. Good Luck!

James,

The petition was originally open to UK residents only, but now that a
worldwide tourist and sword collectors trade is now threatened with
extinction in Scotland, it has been opened for all to sign.

Thanks for your support.

Macdonald

Greetings from a former classmate,

 

   I have seen this in a few other yahoo groups. I'm fairly certain that you all are more up to speed on it than I but thought i'd forward it just in case you guys had not seen it yet.

 

Hope everyone is doing well.

The punchline to all of this is that in the 2000 census, Shelby (Montana) had a population of 3,216.

 

No, there's no missing zeroes there, the population really is under four thousand.

 

That said, here is a fascinating article from the latest edition of the Shelby Promoter: :

SCA hosts Whipping Winds III.

The local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) has good reason to celebrate.

Earlier this summer the Shelby group was made official and now has full Shire status. The local group is now known as the Shire of Windegate and members will be hosting Whipping Winds III at Williamson Park Aug. 25-27. The SCA is a historically based group that recreates the arts and sciences as well as the combat of the time period known as the middle ages. Activities planned for the weekend will include classes on various arts of the times, traditional archery and armored combat. There will be an auction and the event will culminate with a grand feast on Saturday night.

Last year there was good attendance from north of the border as participants from Alberta and Saskatchewan came down to make friendly war on their southern neighbors. This year looks to be on track to be bigger than last year, with feast reservations already sold out at the 125 person maxim um. The event will begin Friday at 10 a.m. with the site opening and concludes Sunday at 4 p.m. when all guests are expected to be gone from the campgrounds. The event is for SCA members and there is a fee to enter the campground over the weekend. Non-members may pay a $3 non-member surcharge, in addition to the regular fees, and join in the fun.

Armored combat battles begin at 1 p.m. Saturday and the site will be open to the public free of charge while the fighting is going on during the early afternoon. Visitors will have a chance to witness medieval combat on a first hand level as shield and sword will lie on. The armies of Avacal (Canada) will face those of the lands of Artemisia (Montana, Idaho and Utah) in friendly competition to the ‘death' in several field scenarios. Planned combat will include an open field battle, bridge battle, castle battle and a woods battle. Also planned for the day will be rapier fighting (fencing) and several scenarios will be fought by these lightly armored combatants.

The local group will play host to ‘Royalty' as the King and Queen of Artemisia, as well as their heirs, the Prince and Princess, will be in attendance. The Avacalian's will have royal presence as well, as the Prince and Princess of that realm will also be guests to our area. So don't be shocked as you may happen across those that seem as if they are from another time over the weekend of Aug. 25-27. The lives and times of those who were thought past and forgotten will come to life at Williamson Park as the Shire of Windegate hosts Whipping Winds III. For more information on the local SCA group, contact Adrienne or Terrell Cotterell at 434-3177 or SCA.org on your home computer. We remind everyone that the park will be closed to the public for the duration of this private pre-reserved event. Minors without a legal guardian or parent present will not be allowed on site due to insurance limitations.

Had a good time at the "Uptown Festival" in Vancouver.  Watching
Cameron crash through the trellis was more fun than I've had in a
while :-) I wish I had a picture of that.  Cameron got even though with
three good welts across my forearm.  Thanks for a good match Cameron.

Anyway, the point of my post is that while I got permission from my
boss to get off early on Tuesday so I can stay in the Class I have a
friend who is gravely ill in the Hospital and I will have to miss class
tonight to visit her.  She is in a good deal of pain.  Her prognosis is
not good and her time may well be short but her spirits are good. I
would ask those of you who are religious in nature to say a prayer for
her comfort and the solace of her family.  Thanks,

Jamie

Itosu.

Thanks!

Karate originated as a martial art thousands of years ago and was
brought to Japan from China, Taiwan and Okinawa. Many of the famous
Karate-ka, or Bushi as they were known in Okinawa, experimented and
developed their skills in such provinces as Shuri, Naha and Tomari.
But unlike Judo and Kendo, Karate was a secret art, unknown to the
general public. There was no fixed system until approximately 1907
when Yasutsune Itosu of Shuri and Kanryo Higaonna of Naha-both of
whom are regarded today as two of the most influential teachers of
Okinawan Karate-gained a good following for both of their own special
styles.

      Kenwa Mabuni who had studied under both Master Yasutsune Itosu
and Master Kanryo Higaonna devised the Shito-Ryu system. Born in
1889, Mabuni was the 17th generation son of a famous samurai named
Onigusuki. Mabuni was keenly aware of the accomplishments of his
brave ancestors and, wanting to overcome poor health, began intensive
karate training at the age of 13. He also studied weapon techniques
of the Bo, Sai, Tonfa,and Kama.     After learning from other masters
like Master Aragaki and Master Matsumura and by mixing the teaching
of Master Itosu and Master Higaonna, he developed a new system,
originally named 'HANKO RYU' (Half-Hard style), but, later changed it
to reflect the deep respect he felt towards his two great masters and
called his new system Shito-Ryu.

The name 'Shito' is the combination of 'shi'  and 'to' , the two
first characters of the names of Master Itosu  and Master Higaonna .

      In 1929 Master Mabuni made a permanent move to Osaka to teach at
universities and police departments. Over the next few years, Master
Mabuni dedicated himself to the further development and promotion of
Shito-Ryu Karate-do in the Osaka area. Among his many students
included was his son Kenzo Mabuni, Kosei Kuniba (founder of Seishin
Kai), Chojiro Tani (founder of Tani-ha Shukokai), Ryusho Sakagami
(founder of Itosu-Kai), Yoshiaki Tsujikawa, Ken Sakio, Jun-ichi
Inoue, Manzo Iwata, Toshiyuki Imanishi, Tokio Hisatomi and Ryusei
Tomoyori. At first he taught his own students pure Shuri-te then pure
Naha-te, but he also gave instruction in other master's styles.

      In Japan, Shotokan-Ryu, Wado-Ryu, Goju-Ryu and Shito-Ryu are the
four main styles of Karate. Shito-Ryu is the style that preserves
most of the original Shuri-te techniques, compared with other styles
such as Shotokan and Wado. It also preserves original Naha-te
techniques together with Goju, although each style places emphasis on
different points. Technically, Shuri-te and Tomari-te have rather
fast and straight movements, while Naha-te has circular and supple
movements.

      Master Mabuni died in his 64th year on May 23rd 1952, but his
system remains one of the four major styles in Japan.

        Shito-Ryu


Master Kenwa Mabuni

Kenzo Mabuni Soke


SOKE KENZO MABUNI is the son of the founder of SHITO-RYU KARATE-DO.
He obtained permission from his father and joined his school when he
was 13 years old and therefore has been in SHITO-RYU KARATE-DO for
over 60 years. He first obtained his SHODAN (1st Dan) on August 1,
1943 and presently holds the JYUDAN (10th Dan) and is a well
respected master not only in Japan but also throughout the world.

After his father's death in 1952, his mother Mrs. KAME MABUNI came to
Kenzo Mabuni and requested that he take over the style. Kenzo Mabuni
could not decide at that time and went into seclusion for two years
to contemplate this great responsibility. He decided to accept this
responsibility and is the inheritor of his father's lineage making
him the 2nd Governor of SHITO-RYU and successor to this organization.
His father left him the SHITO-RYU name, his complete syllabus and the
DOJO with the Association name NIPPON KARATE DO KAI. All these remain
intact until today. He followed his fathers syllabus exactly the way
it was written down in 1929 and thats why he called it SEITO SHITO-
RYU or PURE, TRUE SHITO-RYU.

From that time, Kenzo Mabuni dedicated his life to preserving the
true lineage of his father's karate. He was not concerned with
politics or image and remained unknown to the outside world while his
older brother and others were spreading their influence in the name
of Shito Ryu Karate. In 1993, upon the request of his good friend
Osamu Ozawa (Shotokan master), Kenzo Mabuni travelled to Las Vegas
and exposed the world to Seito (pure) Shito Ryu, the true karate of
his father, Kenwa Mabuni. In April of 1994, Kenzo Mabuni conducted
seminars in Albany, New York and Phoenix, Arizona. Subsequent to
these seminars, Kenzo Mabuni established the Shito Ryu Karate Do Kai
of America (now called Shito-Ryu USA Karate Do Kai) comprised of
Dojo's that had requested of him consideration as his direct students
and received formal acceptance by his senior instructors, the Nippon
Karate Do Kai Shihan Kai.

Kenzo Mabuni's organization, Shito-Ryu International Karate Do Kai,
now has branches in North and South America, Europe, Asia and the
Oceania regions.

Grandmaster Kenzo Mabuni 10th Dan, the Soke of Shito-Ryu, passed away
at 2.45pm, on 26 June 2005.





Introducing the 3rd Soke: Tsukasa Mabuni

Tsukasa Mabuni is the Granddaughter of  Kenwa Mabuni, the founder of
Shito-Ryu. Her father, Kenzo Mabuni, succeeded as the 2nd Soke of
Shito-Ryu when her grandfather passed away in 1952.

Continuing with Budo tradition, she has succeeded the role of 3rd
Soke of Shito-Ryu, upon the recent passing of her father.

She states that, "the organization of Shito-Ryu International Karate
Do Kai will continue on with the same objectives. I urge all Shito-
Ryu Karate-ka worldwide to support the organization which my
grandfather founded. The same organization which my father developed
as an international entity teaching Seito, or authentic, Shito-Ryu."
