Hi everyone,

The only time I've ever come across triping or anything resembling a throw was, in a University Dojo in Kyoto. The sensei was training with an Australian student who hadn't been training very long, the sensei lost his shinai (I think maybe dilberatly as they where the only two peple left fencing at the end of the session) when he lost his shinai he jumped on the student and started grappling with him, much to the enjoyment of everyone watching. Eventually he brought the student down to the floor with a controled bump. I was later told that the sensei is also quite a high dan grade in Judo. So he obviously knew what he was doing.

I had heard of this happening but had never seen it before. Looks fun as I used to practice Judo and would like to see how I would be able to incorperate throws or the same tactics used in Judo.
