Greetings all Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I have been looking for some info on Tai-Jitsu but can't find this particular MA listed in the Styles section.

What style do you train in, and what styles do you study, and what styles do you actively study? What I mean is, if you are say a Black belt in Shotokan, and actively go and train in a Shotokan school. I would refer to that as training in Shotokan. Now if at the same time, you are working with say some eskrima or Sambo leg locks, studying from tapes and books I would refer to that actively ...

Two days ago a guy I've seen working close to where I live started at the school I go to and we have said hello and goodbye etc. when I have shopped there. But now he pushed or slammed me with his shoulder into mine while he was walking. This wasn't the usual shoulder against the shoulder...

Hi there, This has happened to me a few times so I thought it would be an idea to write about it, rant a little and ask for advice. Basically the situation usually goes as follows.
