the taijutsu moves could of come from anywhere.
I thought koppojutsu look like this but koppojutsu must focus more on stikes and Kosshijutsu would be different fist to strike soft vital target.
these are part of Dakentaijutsu and Jutaijutsu would be the grapling side.
in the movie I can see alot more Jutaijutsu than Dakentaijutsu.
I guess you could say taijutsu could look like any kind of unarmed martial art since taijutsu is such a lose term for any style of fighting.
my point is it doesn't need to be a japanese martial art to be considered taijutsu.
But we all had those three classic posters on our bedroom wall, the confusing one where shuko were called tekagi, and the two sword flying sidekick which was obviously taken with him balanced on a chair, which I replicated perfectly using the same props. Those posters even appeared in a movie called Dreamscape, is anyone old enough to remember that?
Not to give him credence, but the words "Shuko" and "Tekagi" are really just different pronunciations of the same characters. The first character means "hand", and can be pronounced either "Shu", or "Te", and the second one means "hook", and can be prounced either "Ko", or "Kagi".
Where do you guys find this movie? I understand that most of you are overseas, but Is it available in the USA?
Kamui. I looked it up on Netflix and it wasn't yet available. Just curious. I'll check amazon. Thanks!Which one? Kamui or Warrior King?
They should both be on Amazon, but perhaps have different names in the US?
Buying from overseas is hit and miss. Sometimes, they're fine, but you're just as likely to get a high quality, blu ray as you are an SVCD burned by a guy with an eyepatch and a parrot on his shoulder.I brought Kamui. and all the ong baks from the asian market for about 12 dollers Australian each. Ive seen all these movies at jbhifi in the foreign dvd section for 3 times as much. If your fron US why dont you try amazon or you could try eastern eye website.

I have studies a little bit of Gyoku Ryu and supposedly it specializes in techniques that involve Kosshijutsu. I have seen some techniques use the thumb strike (Shitojutsu) but not alot. mostly it is more about countering and balance taking and take downs. there is a few Shitojutsu hand stikes in the Sanshin no gata.
I will start learning Koto Ryu next year that specialise in koppojutsu and focus more on striking and is shorter and straight to the point movements.
it is said both schools complement each other. it is interesting that my school teaches Gyoku Ryu and then Koto Ryu. probley Gyoku Ryu first since many say it is the foundation of ninjutsu.
both these Ryu like to stay nice and close which feels unatural for me. I have a natural tendancy to keep distance and dart back and forwards with linier movements. closing in fast and than moving back fast. I once asked what ryu would suit me and was recommend kukishin ryu than koto ryu and I forgot what the other one was.
I'd prefer not to buy pirated anything. But that's just me. One byproduct of the internet is a very cavalier attitude toward theft. I know lots of good people who would never steal something from a store speak casually of stealing music or movies off of a usenet newsgroup or P2P.
And the chances of getting something that ISN'T pirated from an Asian source are slim to nil.
I don't want to sidetrack this thread, While I agree that I wouldn't BUY anything pirtaed (because that does tend to be wrong) but I have argued the Piracy issue on numerous occasions with people who are totally anti-piracy and the best answer to the counterpoints I make is that "Well, um, thats just the way the law is so its illegal" but they cannot argue specifically why it's wrong or how it's theft to my counterpoint. I'd be happy to dialog with you on this if you'd like, out of the thread of course so we don't hijack it.

For not wanting to hijack the thread either, I wouldn't mind being included in this discussion of pirating.
I have a counterpoint to "Well, um, that's just the way the law is so its illegal", but again, without wanting to hijack the film (and for need of more information as to your points), perhaps it would be best discussed elsewhere.
thankyou Sensai Parker.
sounds like I have alot to look forward to next year.
I totally agree on the statement of expanding your personality.
you have mentioned in class about embracing new ways and
getting out of our comfort zones.
