Hi all
How important do you think knowledge of the anatomy is?
I’ve trained with a few people over the years who have just said, hit them here, and that’s been it. Personally I like a bit more than that, I want to know where the weak points are so I’m being more precise with my strikes.
To this end I’ve introduced the anatomy test as a pre-requisite to the physical ShoDan gradings. Looking initially at Skeletal, muscular and respiratory system. I may well extend it in the future as well to include things like Circulatory as well.
For those going for Dan Gradings at the weekend. Sorry!
For those done them in the past - Don’t laugh too much, I may make you do them before your next grading, after I’ve introduced Circulation!http://www.jujitsuonline.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Am I asking too much I sometimes wonder, it is martial arts and not medical college!

A while to go...
I think that asking guys who are grading in a week to suddenly pass an anatomy exam is a little rough….
I am sure the guys know enough on how to break x bone and where to hit someone to knock the breath out of them… but anything else at this late in the game is unfair.
Since when have I been fair?!!!
Fair point though, and I’m not quite that bad, which is why I made it a little easier than it will be in the future, almost multi choice.
To their credit, the ones taken it so far have done well.
I did question myself as to whether to at this time or not.
