Arlington Budoshin JuJitsu Dojo Self Defense for the Rest of Us

Dr. Ivica Zdravkovic, Serbian Budo Council — Jujutsukai, wrote to us with a suggestion for a library service from the American Ju-Jitsu Association AJA. What Dr. Zdravkovic had in mind was not a lending library of books, but an on-line video library with clips showing the various AJA dojo. In his words:

"It would be great to see all those wonderful people doing their noble arts… This sort of sharing knowledge is, in my humble opinion, one of the best ways we could use the Internet."

As an example—and to get things started—he sent to us two clips of him demonstrating some techniques.

Are you interested? Is this idea worth pursuing? If it is, what format should it take? The answer to that question determines the structure, much like deciding how the shelves should go up and items checked out in a library. There is a more important question, and that is about what actually goes on those shelves. What do you want to see? The dojo? The students? The instructors? The sensei? Do you want to see a class in progress? Demonstration of techniques? Finally, the most important question, would you submit your own clips?

Tell us what you think. E-Mail: AJA Editor.
