Hi John, Don`t feel bad, I have a terrible time with my wife`s computer too. All the error messages are in Japanese, which I don`t read, so when ever one pops...
It's foundation and traditions are rooted in history hundreds of years old, but of course there is a lot of new material added in the last few decades. The...
correction.... Stav is more than a program of study, or a discipline, rather than a thing to follow or join, it's an opportunity to get to the underlying...
My Understanding.... Is that it's mainly Akido that has some moves/stances based on the old runic alphabet. Lot's of Scandavain heritage claimed in the style...
... well, that's the claim of the founder of Stav, but it doesn't really hold up very well. the "Runic Stances" actually seem to date back to the Germanic...

Hey all, I appologize for turning this into a thread. But like Hugh said, there are so many BS systems that I can get jaded when I hear of something like this....
I'm also a part of the crew that poured a little fuel on to this topic. Unfortunately I with D-Rock on this one. Stav could be completely effective as a...
