Hi guys, thanks for answering my e-mail. I'm afraid I unintentionally misled you. I currently live in San Antonio Texas. I asked about students from the...
I read about an Aiki-Kai sensei showing a technique and then telling his students to practice. After a while, he stopped them and said, "You think too much."...

Hello Jorge, This is a school in the San Antonio area. Here is the information that I have. Aikido Yoshinkan San Antonio Instructor(s): Rob Carey Mailing...
So after the fantastic response of last Sunday's technique of the week, I thought I might try this again! It was fun wasn't it? The technique of THIS week is: ...
I recommend putting the name of the technique in the subject line so it is easier to keep track of the technique. Also, what are your thoughts on this...

I guess I'm going to have to switch my Yoshinkan emails off of digest mode - this one almost slipped through unnoticed on my part. I'm not sure where you're...
If you re-read that post carefully Craig you'll see that I posted a quote from one of Mick's messages. Post number: #5706 if you want to check up on it. They...
Hey Terry, Sorry, I guess I should read the posts more carefully. Sometimes my brain doesn't function at 100% that late at night. Now that you pointed it...
Jorge, I have recently talked to Rob when traveling on business to San Antonio and he is on military duty at this time and is not training; however, some of...
Hi Todd, I think we're on the same page with this mostly. I think alot of discussion on the mats between students is a product of several things, and at my...
There ya go, the name of the technique in the subject line...sheesh some people just aren't happy... As for commenting on last weeks technique, hell yeah I...
I love the idea of a technique of the week and I hate to ask and sound ungrateful but for us lowly kyu ranks would you mind putting the techniques name in...
That's cool man, I'm a lowly kyu rank too...the english translation I THINK is Single hand grasp, side entering throw - one...anyone? Anyone? As for a...
Seem to remember a top teacher saying we'd all be better if we could be our own ukes. That said, search to understand uke and we will learn. We can still ...
Yes, I think we are on the same page. I particularly like the round-robin style of training. Not sure what it's called... where one student is shi'te and 4 or...

Great technique. The set up with the back knee directly behind the front leg takes time to learn and to become comfortable with. Teachers should keep...

Hi Spike! Thank you for your curiosity. Let me put things this way: Yoshinkan Aikido was introduced in Portugal in 1998 by Jorge Cardoso Sensei. Jorge Sensei...
Hi Todd, I first talked about height disparity being a problem because some of us don't have a Sensei to correct us over and over and over again until we stop...
Hi! Just want to comment the trimmed email below. I once got lucky enough (or not, depending on how you look at it) to have a technique performed on me as I...
This one goes to Todd Shewman (TS), as I think it might have passed unnoticed. I would still like you (TS) to clear out my doubt to post #5951 (below), as I...
