the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Video version coming soon.

Looking forward to the video version - that’s a nice article with lots of detail. Btw Kuroda Tetsuzan, who is briefly mentioned, is principally thought of as a swordsman, so kenjutsu would be more accurate.

Hmmm... from first hand experience...buyer beware, and all that jazz.

I won't offer details, but I will say appearances can be deceiving.

Good interview! I agree with Mr. Kozma's overall perspective regarding martial arts, and his comments on the Chinese Internal Martial Arts in particular. They parallel my own from 62 years of daily martial art training, primarily in major traditional styles of Taijiquan, Baguazhang and Xingyiquan.

I wish him continued success in all of his endeavors going forward. Thanks for sharing his interview.

Alex is a true seeker of the martial arts, whatever he studies he goes in depth. Generally don't have time to watch whole videos, will there be a transcript available for the interview?

Thanks, that was great. I really enjoyed the read.

Yeah, that was pointed out to me by a few others. I originally said "kenjutsu" but Grammarly changed it to "ninjutsu."

Thanks for pointing it out tho. It's fixed now.

Aaah, that explains it – keep the good work coming!
