Here are some more information for Kimono Men:
Once, while being interviewed about street fighting based self defense, I totally shocked the interviewer by stating a simple fact that shook his belief system from the very foundation.
His question was: "What would you recommend or what do you personally teach women in terms of self defense?"
My answer was: "There is no such thing as women's self defense."
Now that doesn't mean at all that women cannot or should not learn to defend themselves, on the contrary, it means that I give women more credit than even they give themselves!
What I mean when I say that women's self defense doesn't exist is that there should not be a difference between the way a woman defends herself and the way that a man defends himself.
Read these five reasons why street fighting based self defense works and how they are just as applicable to women as to men:
1. Street fighting based self defense works just as well against bigger attackers-Women's self defense supposedly has to be different from self defense for men because women tend to be smaller and weaker. Well, I weigh 175 lbs and work as a bouncer. Can you imagine that I have ever been attacked by a smaller guy? Neither can I. Now, if I weigh 175 lbs and street fighting based self defense allows me to defend myself against someone 100 lbs heavier, why can't a woman use the same concepts to defend herself against a much bigger man?
2. Street fighters aren't afraid to strike first-A surprise attack by a bad guy is called a sucker punch. A good guy used a preemptive strike. Either way, it is the same thing, a way to take an attacker out before he even knew he was in a fight. What do you think would be a better choice for a woman to do, wait for an attack and try to block and fight back or to suddenly knock a potential attacker down and out before he attacks, as soon as she feels threatened and knows that there is no way to avoid a fight.
3. Street fighters practice very good situational awareness-As a bouncer, I am constantly trying to see a fight before it starts, to be able to respond before things really get out of hand. A mugger or rapist spends time observing potential targets before he chooses the easiest mark. How can so many "women's self defense" instructors tell their students to run away from a fight if they don't give them the tools to notice a potential threat before it is too late? If your situational awareness, or your ability to see a potentially threatening situation coming and react before you are ambushed or attacked is on point, you won't ever have to fight at all.
4. Street fighters have conquered their fears and don't back down from anything-Ever hear of the concept of the "cornered rat?" Well, rats are nature's masters of street fighting self defense. Just like a rat, a good street fighter becomes much more dangerous when cornered and endangered. Bite, claw, give your attacker(s) everything you've got and die fighting because being afraid and giving-up didn't ever win a fight or save a life.
5. Street fighters don't train-Since developing my concepts of street fighting based self defense, I train much less than ever before in my life and am much more combat effective than ever before in my entire life. How should a working mom or business man find time for work, family, household and the hours of conditioning and technique training that most self defense or martial arts instructors claim are necessary to ensure your street survival? How about spending a few hours to learn a few brutally effective concepts of dirty street fighting and then having them for the rest of your life, on call to be used any time without maintenance training? Like I always say, if a technique is simple enough to use with minimal training, it is simple enough to use effectively on the street. If a technique is complicated enough to need to be drilled constantly, it is too complicated for use in a real street fight.

Why Japanese Products Make Beautiful Gifts
When we want to fill our homes with beautiful things or buy someone a gift that is special there are plenty of places to choose from. However, shopping can often become a little mundane when you see a lot of the same items in the usual outlets. Because of this it is always refreshing to have a look at things from other cultures. For example, items such as Japanese bowls and bamboo steamers make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys cookery. But your choice will certainly not be limited to culinary items...
There are all kinds of truly beautiful oriental items for sale and you will be sure to find things that are far more unusual than the goods you will see in other stores. Japanese dolls are another gorgeous idea to consider. They have something about them that just makes them look so special. They have grace and elegance and can look absolutely stunning when they are set on a shelf in your home. Many people collect these and have small collections of them in their homes.
Japanese fans are a wonderful thing to give to someone as a present and there are all sorts of different colours and designs available. You can even buy special stands for them so that they can be displayed to their full potential.
If you want to buy something special for your husband or boyfriend, then you cannot go far wrong with a men’s Kimono. The word ‘Kimono’ actually translates as ‘a thing to wear’. These are a beautiful thing to wear around the house and they look very elegant. Kimonos come in literally hundreds of different designs so you can be sure to find one that will look lovely on your partner. Because,even if they don’t come out and say so, men enjoy a little pampering as well!
There are also some stunning pieces of jewellery from Japanese shops. A lot of it is so visually appealing because they lean more toward simplicity in their designs than we do. A variety of bracelets, necklaces and earrings are available and you won’t find these for sale in other stores, so you can be truly original.
For children there are some lovely traditional toys. Kids may want to have the latest games and consoles just like their friends but they also love to have toys that no-one else has. But there are some toys that are becoming very popular amongst grown-ups too. Kokeshi dolls have been in production for around 150 years and come in a huge variety of designs. They are beautiful things to have and each one is wonderfully unique.
If you have no-one to buy for (but you desperately want an excuse for treating yourself!) then how about having a look at the selection of Japanese woodblock prints? These will look absolutely stunning on a wall in your home. They were even one of the biggest influences on the work of painters such as Van Gogh.
The Japanese culture has so much to offer and it is such a refreshing change to the goods that we are so used to seeing in the mainstream shopping areas.

Men's Kimono/Yukata on New Years?
Is there a certain style of kimono/yukata for New Years that men wear?
Hmm...I don't know as much about men's kimono as I do about women's kimono, but in general men's kimono are much more limited in style. A man wearing kimono to a formal New Year's celebration would probably wear the the standard formal men's kimono (kimono, hakama, haori, probably in dark colors). He would never wear a yukata at New Years because Yukata are only for onsens or for wearing to festivals and casual celebrations during the summer, so wearing a yukata for New Year's would be like wearing your summer t-shirt and jeans to a very formal winter dance.
