...Welcome
to
askSensei.com,
a site for all martial
artists interested in an
intelligent, healthy and
artistic approach to
their activity. Our goal
at
askSensei.com
is to become the website
that everyone interested
in Martial Art will want
to check out
regularly.
...We
will post in our current
Content Section five
questions and answers in
each of six areas of
interest: training &
technique, learning
& teaching, health
& fitness, mind
& body, art &
nature, and traditions
&
more.
...
As
a new question is posted
an older one will be
moved to the expanding
Archives. These are all
available for free
download. Only for
personal use and
non-commercial purposes

 Created
by Claudio
Iedwab
& Roxanne
Standefer,
authors of The Secret
Art of Health &
Fitness, Martial
Arts Mind &
Body, and The
Peaceful Way,
askSensei.com
is a way for us to share
years of knowledge,
research and practice in
the martial arts.
Initially we will post
questions commonly asked
by our own students, but
we encourage martial
artists and others to
contact us with
questions of their own:
myquestion@askSensei.com.
Every few days, as we
are able, we will post
new questions and our
best answers. Our
content will be
organized into general
areas and eventually
form a large body of
archived material.
 In
forming our answers we
will consult our own
experience as well as a
vast library of material
on the martial arts,
education, Zen, Eastern
philosophy and culture,
alternative medicine,
body movement therapies,
physiology, etc., or we
will seek answers from
other
sensei.
We
will proudly promote our
own published books,
electronic publications,
courses and other
resource material. We
will also seek the help
of sponsors and other
commercial links that
will enable us to expand
our scope and devote our
professional resources
to providing excellent
content for
askSensei.com.
...
Our
personal school of
martial art study is
Gorindo
"the Friendly Martial
Art". Founded in
1990, gorindo is a
non-competitive style
committed to putting the
Art back in Martial
Arts and Martial
Art back in Nature.
Nevertheless with
askSensei.com
we are committed to
providing content and
discourse about Martial
Art in general - what
unites and inspires us
all.
Enthusiasts of other
styles of martial art
such as judo, karate,
aikido, jujutsu,
goshindo, kobudo, kendo,
iaido, kyudo, ninjutsu,
sumo, taijitsu,
taekwondo, tangsoodo,
hapkido, taekyon,
hosinsul, sipalki,
kenpo, kung-fu, wushu,
taichi, chi-kung, pakua,
hsing-i, kickboxing,
muay-thai, savate French
boxing, la canne, kali,
silat, capoeira,
karalapayit, wrestling,
sambo, fencing, etc.,
will find
askSensei.com
equally rewarding and
essential to their own
practice.
...
So,
we say welcome and enjoy
askSensei.com.
Visit us often as we
grow, please tell a
friend and by all means
contact us with new
questions.
...
