... Rob, Actually your post goes to the heart of the answer as you well know. That is why I said what I said. I did not want to repeat what you said. The...
Bob, I actually said to someone last night in Wado class, I can feel yours but I bet you can't feel mine, when he shrugged, I hope he meant he couldn't...

Ok, I think now have some clues how to perform the movement. It only needs a lot of practice. Thanks Igor, Robert and Bob for your answers. I appreciate them. ...
Interested in the Saiko Shihan thing. What does it mean ? I know Mr Otsuka II is known as second Grandmaster. Was Otsuka 1st known as a Grandmaster when alive...
... "Saiko" means something like "Ultimate" or "Supreme". Calling yourself "Saiko Shihan" is calling yourself "Supreme Master" or "Ultimate Master". In...
My humble understanding is that; saiko shihan means Grand Master. Therefore there can be only one "Grand Master" in any particular style. However many sempai...
Ah so... do I then understand this to mean that arrogance is a pre-requisite for the title of Shihan and the title and even more so for the position of Saiko...
The way I understood it was, that titles like Shihan, Kancho etc. were

Hi Glyn, I don't know the Japanese phrase but it sounds similar to advice in the book of Five Rings. Musashi says something like your everyday normal mind must...
Bill, Master Otsuka quotes Eiji yoshikawa's book 'Musashi' at one point in his own book but not Musashi directly that I know of. I'm sure Senseis Suzuki and...

Having sat back and thought about it a while I can now understand why Americans in particular can get hung up about all this. In the UK we do not seem to have...
Hello, I was notified of this thread by e-mail and asked to comment. After a good laugh I must say it is up to billing. The anonymous Mr Iakodaw/Wadokai stated...
