Feb 12	comment	Benefits of a formal senpai/kohai relationship within an Aikido dojo Does the relationship get nuanced by people who are your elders in term of age?
Feb 12	comment	Is there a written, authoritative source I can reference for interpretations (Bunkai) of Karate (Shotokan) katas? @stslavik True. The edit just really emphasized that 'Shotokan' was in the title. Now I also want to add the word 'waza' to the title, though.. I mean, if we go for exactness, we may never be done.
Feb 12	comment	Is there a written, authoritative source I can reference for interpretations (Bunkai) of Karate (Shotokan) katas? This post was edited and my answer became invalid, so I deleted my post. Shame, really.
Feb 11	comment	Are chi-sao-style drills found anywhere other than in Wing Chun? Please consider accepting the answer if it satisfies you, or leaving a comment if it doesn't.
Feb 11	comment	Why do martial artists “shout” in the execution of a technique? The release of inner power can be applied to any movement, not only striking moves.

Feb 11	comment	What are the ways to get sweat stains out of a Gi? Please consider accepting an answer.
Feb 10	comment	Is there a written, authoritative source I can reference for interpretations (Bunkai) of Karate (Shotokan) katas? Given the amount of misinformation and stupid stuff around, and the amazing lack of real understanding out there, I'd say yes, it is.

Feb 9	comment	What methods are effective for increasing co-ordination on dual handed techniques? @stslavik Haha, nice little edit.
Feb 9	comment	What methods are effective for increasing co-ordination on dual handed techniques? That's a good point. I remember reading that some people can understand more than they can do and some people can do more than they can understand. I fall in the latter category - I just copy the weaving pattern and eventually my brain catches up. I think all the advice you gave in your answer is at the very least a great starting point.

Feb 9	comment	Benefits of a formal senpai/kohai relationship within an Aikido dojo @Sardathrion The way I read the question now, I consider it perfectly acceptable. I'm waiting for the follow-up question of "how to set up a senpai/kohai relationship in an American school" :-)
Feb 9	comment	Benefits of a formal senpai/kohai relationship within an Aikido dojo There are three questions here: what are the benefits of learning Aikido, what is a senpai-kohai relationship, and do you know of a western aikido dojo that actually preserves the japanese culture enough to have a good senpai-kohai relationship. I think that's too much for just one question... Please consider asking three questions instead.
Feb 9	answered	What does the closed fist covered by open hand signify?
Feb 8	revised	What is a good defense against a rear naked choke? added the words 'brazilian ju-jitsu' and 'rules' to the question.
Feb 8	answered	How do you ease someone over 40 back into training after many years absence?
Feb 8	accepted	What are the ankles good for, relative to stance work and mobility?
Feb 8	comment	What are the ankles good for, relative to stance work and mobility? Regarding the inner structure of the movements - if you can't explain it, can you at least come up with a useful lie that gets me on the right track? I'll take a koan, an analogy or a haiku, whatever helps you get the point across!
