Hey brother, I apologize for the delayed response. I have a good friend who has one of the best restaurants in town here and I hired him to help me create a menu for a dinner party I threw for Christmas. I totally over invited and ended up cooking for 17 people! It couldn't have turned out any better though, I was fortunate enough to execute the meal plan very well and the dinner was a hit. Therefore I have been slightly preoccupied.
I've never heard of Tai-Jitsu, I'm going to look it up. That's what I like most about Jiu-Jitsu is the cerebral part of it. We're constantly having to think our way through tough situations, we're not just throwing kicks and punches. Plus it's something that can be done at any age really and I'm getting fucking old! ;)
Hey my friend, no problem I've been really ill all over Christmas so I haven't even been on here. Sound like you put a lot of work into making sure everyone had a great Christmas so I'm really glad it went down so well.
The Tai-jutsu I trained in derived from the Samurai's hand to hand combat system, although it does also incorperate weapons training. Its more of a Martial art/Self defence as opposed to sport and focuses on quick takedowns as opposed to points. The systems of Ju-jutsu/Jiu-jitsu, Aikido/Aiki-ju-jutsu, Judo and Kenpo are all forms for Tai-jutsu. Anyway I'd like to wish you a very Happy New Year!
Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well.
That sounds really cool... "derived from the Samurai's hand to hand combat system". I much prefer the martial art aspect of Jiu Jitsu rather than the sport side of it. I've never competed and don't care for the point system myself. To each his own though. :) Have an awesome New Year and here's to an amazing 2018!!
