Thursday 13th October 2005 at 21:01 Do any of you traditional Ju Jitsuka know of the "Tai Sabaki" ? And is it the TJJ equivalent of kata in karate. Ž„‚Í•\–Ê‚Ì‘Å‚Â ( I will punch |

Friday 14th October 2005 at 14:38 Tai sabaki basically just means body movement / co-ordination. e.g. if the tai sabaki is incorrect, then delivery of your action may not be very good. Kata may be a good way in which to practice and polish your tai sabaki for a set move or series of moves. "Its not the size of the dog i |

Friday 14th October 2005 at 19:53 I see, so tai sabaki just describes movement. But does traditional JJ have any kata for testing? Or is testing based mainly on performing techniques? Ž„‚Í•\–Ê‚Ì‘Å‚Â ( I will punch |

Friday 14th October 2005 at 21:56 BJJA. We do Kata From Novice, Stance Kata at Green. Blocking Kata at Blue.....I`ve just run out of experience. I appreciate some of you lads don`t have much time for Kata. I just look at it as part of the jig-saw. Discipline must be involved in any skill that is worth anything. You loose the discipline and you are on a slippery slope. "Bee" |

Friday 14th October 2005 at 23:18 My lot did a major syllabus reshuffle a few months ago and we now have a weapons kata on every belt. Yellow = Jo staff, Orange = single Nunchaku etc. It's a bit of fun and something a bit different for people but it now leaves me with rather a lot to learn to grade up to brown&white :-O. Most of them have been cut down to between 20 and 30 moves but still........And then for dan grades (a long way off yet, phew) I'll get stuck into learning full katas - upwards of 100 moves I believe. |

Saturday 15th October 2005 at 01:45 I 'quit' TJJ once I got to Brown Belt, Black didn't seem that interesting, plus I'd kinda got what I wanted out of the art, once I got to that levelt the belts didn't mean that much anymore, so it was just the training I was there for, not really aiming for the belts no more.

Wednesday 19th October 2005 at 18:39 IMO kata are only of any use in the practice of Iaido 'the art of drawing the sword'. This is because Iai (sword) technique is intricate in the 'drawing' of the blade, but then by the very nature of the weapon delivery is a singular activity (a fatal cut) or at most duality (a parry with the blade followed by a fatal cut). There is no necessity for multiple moves, parrys, cuts and therfore kata serves sword practice very well. By its nature it cannot be practiced with a resistive opponent, as there is no resistance, either the fatal cut is delivered - opponent dead, or cut misses opponent and he instead delivers the fatal cut. Serious stuff:-| "Its not the size of the dog i |

Friday 21st October 2005 at 14:18 Wooden sticks on body armour do not cut, and so are not a realistic interpretation of sword, they provide a sporting application which although being skillful, testing and fun, is not truly representative. "Its not the size of the dog i |
