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)

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. |

How do I coach her mindset to better suit karate competitions? +1 Very interesting question. Personally, I compete to learn more about the art I practice thus I do not tend to focus on winning. Would this help her? |

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. |

Harnessing emotion during sparring Could you expend your answer a little? Just a link without background is bad form. |

Benefits of a formal senpai/kohai relationship within an Aikido dojo @Trevoke: I think all of it should be included but I would leave that to stslavik to do if they wished it. |

Is practising techniques on both the left and right sides beneficial or detrimental to martial development? @WilliamMioch: There are no Japanese sword styles that teach left handed sword work as far as I know. I would be interested if anyone knew of one. |

Benefits of a formal senpai/kohai relationship within an Aikido dojo @KeithNicholas: From a point of view maybe but the question semantics mean that I am soliciting facts and not discussions, argumentations, and opinions. Of course, I maybe wrong but I think this would be on topic and acceptable. |

How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV However, from what I know of the law (France, UK, and USA), what you just described crosses from self defence into assault. This will result in a trial and potentially a prison sentence. Before taking this advise, be sure to seek legal help. 'nuff said. |

How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? Note that there is a difference between civilian, law enforcement, and military "self defence" thus a difference in what they will teach you and the tools they used. No one in their right mind will say at a mini-gun is the ultimate home owner self defence tool yet on a medievac, accept no substitute. ;) |

How popular are the different styles of Aikido? I am not sure that this data exists. You could ask the different hombu dojo in Japan as they should have a list of all the yudansha that are registered with them but that gives you only shodan or above that have registered... |

How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? -1 you keep shooting until either the person is down, or your gun is empty. Avoid any such advise and do not practice in those clubs. This advise will land you in jail for murder. Remember: self defence stops when the other guy stops attacking you. If you continue to attack them, then YOU become the attacker. When shooting a gun, you should know when to stop. When using techniques, you should know when to stop. It is called control and self discipline. |
