Straight posture vs curved (karate vs boxing)

Inspired by the pick up heel comments I remembered this video

It starts about 10 sec in. and he describes the difference in the origions of the 2 postures in martial arts.

Then gives a demonstration of aikido vs karate and continues with a disscusion about the different breathing patterns between east and west.

Then afterwards he visits a man with 38 dans  and talks about how aikido has become a sport and not a battlefield art.

Very big discussion on it here. Alot of crap there, but Sinister's real name is Louis Monda, and he is a top trainer at Johnny Taco's in Vegas with a few pro boxing fights. He at least knows what hes on about.
