#kobujutsu — Public Fediverse posts

One thing I do appreciate about #kobujutsu (at least the #yuishinkai variety) is that you aim to be off the line, away from the attack line, and there are even circular movements. In many other arts, including some #karate itself, the lines tend to be more straight and direct. Even in some weapon arts.

Right, @karatejukka ?

@sleepyfox the fantastic thing is how different each dojo can be. So when a sensei says ‘This is how you do it in #aikido’ I tend to now take it with a pinch of salt. At the same time I’ve learnt something from every one of the 38 dojos I visited.

I can also count 10 dojos of other arts (#karate x 3, #judo, #hapkido, #kobujutsu, #iaido, #ChoyLiFut, #HEMA, #bujinkan). Also 3 separate clubs that were physically in the same dojo as one of the others (2x #DaitoRyu, 1 Karate). AMA :D

Huh, managed to tear my smooth fabric #NoneCircles gi top in #DaitoRyu today (hip throws). Lasted a couple of years. I prefer smooth fabric to the rough rice weave ones you usually see in #aikido and #judo tops. This one was marketed for aikido but I have a feeling the fabric might be from a heavy karate top. Sorry @karatejukka, I might have to use some rougher top for #kobujutsu now…

Should finally do my #introduction.

In and around tech since 7, when I started programming as a kid living in #NorthernIreland (now in #Finland). The sheer magic of creating a world from a blank screen was like nothing else. Since then founded several companies including banking disruptor #Holvi, the new computer #Solu, and now #AttractiveAI. Also #demoscene event #AltParty.

Beyond that I enjoy writing and am 1st kyu in #aikido, with some #DaitoRyu, #iaido and #kobujutsu in the mix.
