comment Correct usage of the title “Master”?
Talhoffer is described as having the title of Maister in the Fight Earnestly book. I do not speak German so cannot point to the exact line in the text but the pdf can be found here: thearma.org/pdf/Fight-Earnestly.pdf Hope this helps.

comment Bokken and Jo Kata book
Ah, sorry. I meant that the kata will vary between styles of aikido: yoshinkan, shodokan, aikikai, iwama, ki, etc... all will have different versions of the 31 and may others. Shodokan has a 6, 18, 21 and 31 for example.

comment What do I need to keep in mind when picking a martial art as a bouncer?
@jacknad: Depends on which style you do. Both yoshinkan and shodokan do use strikes as strikes to name but two.
