History board anyone?

[Tant01]

I like to research the good old days. By that I mean the early days of Judo.

Seems like there should be a board for history buffs.


Anyone? I bet a few of you have searched the internet looking for the roots of some style or another?

Maybe it's time?

Just asking for interest not a(nother) new board (yet)...


Thanks!

I would be there with bells on (not literally!)

I'm going to have to go with a firm NO vote on this one.

Not because I'm anti-history, but we are getting a lot of forums around here alll of the sudden. One of the things I like about Defend.net is the variety of opinions. I'm afraid if we get to many forums, we won't have to talk to each other any more - everybody will log into thier particular 'safety forum' and stay there.

I can understand that. And appreciate it however dispersed through the forum are a number of interesting bits and facts, refrences and links to old documents and websites with various information of historical value that are hard to find in the many boards and threads...

From Fairbairn and Patton to Sambo and Pankraton... and Judo - Jiu-Jitsu...



The argument for:
Academia is usually conceived of as divided into disciplines or fields of study. These have their roots in the subjects of the ancient trivium and quadrivium, which provided the model for Scholastic thought in the first universities in medieval Europe.

The disciplines have been much revised, and many new disciplines have formed since medieval times; in general, academic fields have become more and more specialized since the Enlightenment, dividing their research into smaller and smaller areas. Because of this, interdisciplinary research is often prized in today's academy. It can also be made difficult by practical matters of administration and funding. In fact, many new fields of study have initially been conceived as interdisciplinary, and later become specialized disciplines in their own right (cognitive science is one recent example). In short, there is a historical process behind the internal differentiation of the academy.

Most academic institutions reflect the divide of the disciplines in their administrative structure, being divided internally into departments or programs in various fields of study. Each department is typically administered and funded separately by the academic institution, though there may be some overlap and faculty members, research and administrative staff may in some cases be shared among departments. In addition, academic institutions generally have an overall administrative structure (usually including a president and several deans) which is controlled by no single department, discipline, or field of thought.....
