Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. Quid enim est aetas hominis, nisi ea memoria rerum veterum cum superiorum aetate contexitur? -- Cicero, Marcus Tullius (106-43BC)

Mar 1	comment	Are martial arts helpful in dealing with pain from a sedentary lifestyle? Welcome to the site. Have some reputation to get you going.
Feb 28	comment	Frequency of Martial Arts lessons Just a small comment. Make sure you do not over do it at first. It takes time to get the stamina to do five sessions a week.
Feb 18	comment	Start attacking instead of blocking while sparring +1 Welcome to the site! This is a nice question, so have some reputation to get you going.
Feb 15	comment	Is martial arts training 'inadequate' for the real world? @Rushyo: I like your method of self defence.
Jan 31	comment	What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? WOW. Three answer and only two upvotes (all mine)... Something is wrong here. Either we did not understand the question or the answers are just that bad.
Jan 30	comment	What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? @DaveLiepmann: Okay, I can see how one could misinterpret what I said. Post edited and thank you for pointing it out.
Jan 29	comment	What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? @DaveLiepmann: I believe that it is our duty to help the victim in whatever way possible. This includes but is not limited to supporting the victim in reporting the crime to the relevant law enforcement agency.
Jan 29	comment	What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? @MarkC.Wallace: I know that feeling well. I was not sure that the question was on topic either. However, since it is an important subject, maybe we should allow it? ... meta?
Jan 29	comment	What material should be covered in a rape-defense course? @MarkC.Wallace: I think it is on topic (even without the edits) because unless you know what you are trying to protect against, there is no way you can devise a program to help.
Jan 24	comment	Fighting styles that use a katana from the beginning In Shodokan aikido, sword work is there to improve your Aikido and not to teach you how to use a sword. I suspect that many other styles of Aikido are similar.
Jan 23	comment	Fighting styles that use a katana from the beginning Iaido, kenjutsu, kendo for sure. Shodokan Aikido has basic hand movements derived from sword work that are thought within the first 30 minutes of each class. Other styles of Aikido (Iwama?) have weapon training from earlier on.
Jan 15	comment	Amount of force to do X Journal of Trauma may have some accurate numbers there. But not having access, I cannot check it out -- anyone in academia?
Jan 15	comment	Does Krav Maga have any roots of Aikido? -1: [..] Aikido are modern "made up" martial arts and have no basis in "tradition". This is utter rubbish. Aikido evolved from Daito ryu Aiki jujutsu practiced by the Takeda family of Kai Province (modern day Yamanashi Prefecture). It has many other influences due to Ueshiba learning various other martial arts during his life.
Dec 18	comment	What's the difference between Internal and External martial arts? -1: Aikido is generally seen as an internal martial art but has plenty of "explosive" moves.
Dec 11	comment	How do I treat my leg after a painful thigh kick? +1 for the first three words. No need to read the rest... ^_~
Dec 10	comment	Learning breathing while meditating I am not sure this question should on-topic here...
Nov 27	comment	Kyokushin karate in bay area Welcome to the site. Sadly, your first question should be closed on the ground that it is too localised -- see the FAQ. However, I strongly urge you to ask more questions about karate in general.
Nov 20	comment	Is it true that most fights end on the ground? What is the evidence? -1. See The Body in Motion: Its Evolution and Design by Theodore Dimon‌. Humans have evolved to be upright bipedal. Normal humans have a centre of mass in the same place as the geometric centre (just below the navel) and therefore cannot be "top heavy".
Nov 14	comment	How can I quickly regain focus during class? You are welcome. Let us know if any suggestions were helpful down the line.
Oct 24	comment	Good music themes for Tai-chi @DaveLiepmann: I posed this as a question not a statement as I am not sure if music recommendation should be on topic here.
