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!!
