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)

What are the signs *not* to train at a specific school? RE:fees. Yes, I see how my answer was unclear. I shall edit. |

What are the signs *not* to train at a specific school? Watching should never be a problems. However, depending on the dojo/instructor insurance, instructors may have to ask someone who wants to train to get insured (thus pay a small fee) even if they only want to try it for a session or two. |

Aikido Forward Roll I would say there are two questions here. I think that you could ask the last sentence as a question on its own. |

Aikido Forward Roll +1. I would emphasis being relaxed as this puts more elasticity into impacts thus dissipating kinetic energy instead of absorbing it into the body. You breathe point is excellent since it forces one's body to relax. |

Aikido ikkyo variations It is called oshi taoshi in Shodookan which translates as elbow push down. There are countless applications of that one technique. |

How do i fix my Berimbau? Welcome to the site! It is nice to see another capoeira practitioner here. I removed your request for email you as well (you will get less spam that way) and the "signature". |

What are good martial arts for aging bodies? An addendum to the question would be how to evaluate a potential school. This would be a question in its own right, possibly a duplicate, but certainly worth asking -- if no duplicate can be found... |

What are good martial arts for aging bodies? How bad are you joints? Did you seek medical advice on how to fix them? |

What are good martial arts for aging bodies? Aikido has way too many joint techniques to be safe if you already have bad joints. Not sure if that is relevant or not to this question... |

Why drop the bokken vertical prior to a downstroke? @MarkC.Wallace: Indeed, that is what I found as well and thus why I am not doing it. Also moving the bokken from the spine to vertical is a waste of energy. |

War is a continuation of policy/politics/diplomacy by other means +1 for quoting Clausewitz... And the question is a good one too! |

Should political/religious discussions be allowed inside the training place? Aikido and Omotokyo would be another example... |

Should political/religious discussions be allowed inside the training place? Could you define your terms? Do you mean politics as martial art organisation(s) politics? Do you mean religion as in boggly stuff such a ki/chi and other magic within martial arts? If so, could you edit your question a little as I think that would be very much on topic. If, on the other hand, you refer to politics and religion as outside of a martial art context, then you question is overly broad. |

Is the Olympic sport of Tae Kwon Do uniquely Tae Kwon Do like? Hum, there are at least two questions there and one of them (concerning Karate) invites opinions. I would rephrase the question to make it more focused. |
