Hello, I was wondering if color matters in a hakama and a kaiku-gi, as well as the obi belt. I was thinking about getting a tan gi, black hakima and obi belt, and the Japanese sandals. (or clogs) If anyone has an idea of what colors to wear for proper attire, I'm all ears and open minded. Thank you for listening and answering my questions. Sincerely, Gabriel Lopez.

Hi everyone. Just checking in to see how training is going. Anything in particular you are working on? I have been thinking about timing and if I don't have timing within myself i will not have much success in timing with others. If you also train in another system are you finding similarities? What are they? I have been finding some interesting similarities with my Irish stick fighting. One example is floating body, they just don't call it that. I really want to hear from people! We can all learn from each other! 🙂 Remember feel free to ask questions. As you can see from all my questions Sensei doesn't mind answering them. 😁

Hi everyone, I'm excited to have my son, Matthew, now assisting me with video editing and uploading. With his help, I've been able to upload over a dozen new videos for you today! If you have questions or if there's a particular video topic you'd like to see, be sure to leave a comment below. I keep a running list that I'll probably post here soon so you know what's on the way. New videos are now being uploaded to the Premium members area. Premium members have access to regular (complete movement, non-start/stop) and full-speed videos, as well as fundamentals of classical samurai jujutsu (Aiki-Jujutsu), tanto-jutsu, and jo-jutsu. VIP members (distance students) have access to everything in Premium, plus live classes, class recordings, and direct access so I can help you progress.
