Recently i was fortunate 2 have met some1 who is involved with a DAITO-RYO AIKI JUJUTSU dojo close 2 where i live, which is quite unusual in Cape Town, South Africa!! ...i jumped at the oppertunity 2 visit the dojo in order 2 get my 1st impression and a feel 4 the shihan... again, i have 2 praise my own fortune and give thanx 2 all the events that lead me 2 that point in time, bcause i visited the dojo on the last day of instruction from Paul Wollos Sensei, b4 he was leaving South Africa 4 Japan, only 2 return in August, later in this year!! ...he was GREAT!! ...i Njoyed watching and learning from his humourous & informative ways... he always shared where a technique originated from, how it was applied in those times of Imperial Japan and how these techniques have been adapted 4 2day's use in a dojo... i just have 2 emphasize that i was very impressed with his stature & professional, yet light-hearted approach... this considerably contributed 2 me feeling xtremely comfortable in a new environment and this lead me 2 reach a conclusion that if i was THIS comfortable with the shihan and dojo by just observing, it will b even more so if i could b accepted into the school and actually participating!! ...as soon as their requirements r met and my finances allow, i shall join the dojo and attempt to speed up the process of self-mastery!!!

After reading an article in COMBAT magazine about Vladimir Vasiliev & the Russian system of "Tropa", i was intrigued 2 say the least!!! - ALL that i have come 2 blieve in this 3rd dimension seems 2 b summed up in this ancient art! - i will c if with some twist of fate i can get that article scanned in order 2 display it here.
Have a look at RUSSIAN MARTIAL ART
While surfing around, looking 4 more info on "Tropa", i came across something called "Gatka" which looks like something from India...i've decided 2 add this here bcause i think it is rather interesting that the Indians had this martial art 4 so long and us westerners seem MORE or less ignorant of this tradition...4 educational purposes i approved the link 2 Miri Piri Gatka Dal
Another captivating art is Capoeira - wanna know more? - check out The Capoeira's WebRing

BUT, what i found...) its all about harnessing Potential & then moving in2 the Rock-way in2 the Love-way as part of the 9 ways... check out 9ways & article @ innersports.org
