Posted in: 'A soul in it': Japanese judogi firm weaving its trade See in context
Vince Black, I can't say much about Judo, but Karate is highly practical if taught as such. It's all up to the teacher - if you only train for tournaments, that's what you'll be good at. If you train for self defense with a teacher that understands this specialization, you'll get good at that. The style isn't really that important, but the teacher is critical.

Posted in: Abe says it is time to revise pacifist constitution See in context
I believe it is time to allow Japan a fully functional military without restrictions. Enough time has passed, apologies have been made. We can't rely on the US anymore to act in Japan's best interest. We need the right to act on our own when needed. That said, the military must remain under civilian control to prevent the errors of the past. We should also build a strong military that would generate many jobs and improve our economy. Peace through strength.

The spooks in the shrine are bs. Get over it. This is a riot coming from the atheist Chinese. It is another excuse to fight.
