Congratulations!! and Some questions.NAGARE
Hi everybody
First of all, sorry, ¡I am trying to improve my English! After that, congratulations! This page is really fantastic, in all aspects, not only show technique but the entire way to have a good training. Also I wanted to say that I really liked your way of training is so diverse and intense that makes you feel taught even when you are not doing anything jeje. But mainly I have posted because I am a Bujinkan practitioner and, really it is not possible to compare your training with mine. Sometimes (really) I have felt bad about if Bujinkan really works. Sometimes the Fudoken based training makes you feel that everything is easy but it is not, and this is not good because you do not develop useful skills neither a “real” way of moving. The sparring for me is necessary and you do it well. The dynamic of a fight is so complex that we can not say that we are doing a good job maintain ourselves “paralyzed” while Tori does the technique. I don’t now if is all over the world this kind of training. I really like Bujinkan but it wouldn’t be bad for me to receive some hits and kicks in the body in order to feel the reality of a confrontation.
After that I wanted to ask you advice about this feeling. Can I change it in a way that I continue training but in a manner I can use this knowledge in a real situation? I enjoy training but sometimes it is so boring because you know the taijutsu of your partner then, without resistance you only dance more that practice budo. Maybe my conceptualization is wrong, but that is why I have been researching and I found you, for me the nicest ninjutsu dojo of those I have had information. Your training really makes people confident about of their skills, not in an egocentric base that could make you violent, but in a way that you feel ready for a diversity of situations always in harmony. In the way I train the Soke´s philosophy is very important I like those teachings but, I really want also to improve in my technique and skills for real situations.
Excuse me the extension of this post, and tanks for you attention.

Helllo BuyuYossi Sheriff
Bujinkan syllabus is our mainstay. We like to think of our efforts as a continuation of the eclectic efforts of many teachers in our knowledge lineage: Takamatzu sensei, Hatzumi sensei, Doron Navon sensei.
These teachers always kept an open eye for improvement and added many new techniques and even whole martial systems (Ryu).
The key element here was Randori, or sparring. Doing Randori improves everything and forces one to recheck the reality of the techniques.
I wish you the best training.

Improving the trainingNAGARE
Thanks for your answer Sheriff Sensei, I really appreciate it. I am really decided to improve my training. First I will try to follow the fitness program you put in the wiki, second: try to systematize the syllabus of my level (meaning putting all in words and watching the videos uploaded to the akban wiki) in order to have a database of the techniques I train and the way you show them, third: I will try to suggest a little bit of “free style” and punches and kicks training in the dojo. I expect all this can change my perception and confidence respect this beautiful martial art that does not only include fighting but a complete system of survivor skills.
Finally, some question. Has this kind of training (I mean the fudoken based) always been in that way? In the first times of Bujinkan (Ninpo Taijutsu I think) there existed randori practices? Most of ancient Ryuha (I have notice) have this kind of practice Tori-Uke and non fight, Is there a reason for this? Why most bujinkan dojos does not allow to have randori (at leas a soft one)?
Thanks for your attention. I hope to clarify my path with your invaluable advice.

How was it in Bujinkan in the early days?Yossi Sheriff
When I started training under Doron Navon Shihan Bujin kan was different.
In one of the early books in Japanese you can see the Shihans: Ishizuka, Tanemura, Manaka, Seno etc. training with boxing gloves and Kendo Do shield...
Akban did not invent Randori practice, it was an integral part of Bujin kan koryu.
In my teacher's dojo in rural Kiryat Shaul the sparring was so dangerous I remember as a youth, while waiting for my turn, getting belly aches from fear.
Please consult your teacher and respect him. Doing randori is not necessarily the only way to get better in martial arts.
Keep training.

A look at the pastNAGARE
This is very interesting. I did not know that, I thought Bujinkan members never sparred. I was reading a link in the wiki were it was stated that the nowadays way of training is a result of Soke’s illness. My objective is not to practice randori, but with this I see a mean to develop skills in the art. I have some friends who train other styles such as judo, BJJ or sambo. The way they train is very demanding and, even when I push myself to improve, they usually defeat me when we try some practice, then I reviewed what was wrong and what I found was that “dynamic” is the key word to this. The movement of a body is so complex that trying to perform a technique or a reaction under this is almost impossible with the fudoken based schema; the dynamic equilibrium for example, without moving how do I can avoid a takedown or a throw?
I respect my teacher who has also trained other arts and now is dedicated to Bujinkan, but I think the background he accumulated in his early practice makes him good, because he has a deeper knowledge of what you call “the foundation level” which -as you also note- does not exist in Bujinkan. The fundamentals of kicking, blocking, striking is the base of the pyramid, we practice Nage waza for example, but there is a lack of knowledge in how performing such techniques in movement. I like kata as the core practice in the dojo, but at least would be nice a free style where one can push oneself to adapt the “form” to an uncertain movement of the attacker.
Sheriff sensei, if you can, could you please send me those pictures you mentioned? I would like to develop a good argument to suggest increase our level in the dojo, as you said, not based in randori, but based in the physical preparation, kihon, kata, and maybe in a moment with sparring. But it seems good to show others the roots of the older shihan, feeling us as inheritor of such important and old tradition. I always have thought this is “the” martial art for me, because include the development of body and also due to its deeper philosophical roots.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your answer Sheriff Sensei. I really appreciate your attention. Now I am going to buy that book, this is the basic book in the learning of Budo Taijutsu I think. The Tenchijin is followed in my dojo, but we have a translated one that is not enough good and does not have illustration, but it works for the moment. I really want to get that book you told me.
Only one thing else, in the beginners fitness table says -in Tuesday and Friday- “According to your phase at the strength table” does it means that I have to do those exercises? I mean the time to run is Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday (4 days) and the others I do the strength exercises? Could you please clarify me this topic? Finally I have been running before following the table 30 minutes by three days a week, in a constant rhythm (no more than 85%) in a diverse terrain that includes small hills, steps, grass, and irregular terrain with small rocks. My question is if I have to follow the table as it is or do I begin in another point?
Thanks again Sheriff Sensei, and thanks to akban too for having this space to communicate our questions and feelings respect to training.

It would be nice if the Aikido section where expanded to include more videos. Am I allowed to email other websites to see if we can include their videos or does the community wish to produce their own videos? I'm new, so I don't know what the protocol is. If it's already on YouTube, is it illegal to post a video here?
By the way, you guys are doing an excellent job. Despite the fact that I just started martial arts, I believe, like many of you do, that martial arts should be a way of life. There are far too many people suffering due to ignorance and lack of connection to their basic (and advanced) survival skills.

Yes, you can add a youtube to an existing page (its rather cumbersome, add the identifier only- eg. b6JXXId6Ynk - to these tags <youtube></youtube> and you'll get this: <youtube>b6JXXId6Ynk</youtube> paste it in the wiki page and voilà!
Yes, you can make wiki code mistakes, we will correct in few hours if any occur.
Yes, these clips can be by any martial artist in youtube.
Yes we believe, just like you, that martial arts are not only an esoteric way of life but a culture - martial arts are a culture.
Well, actually yes to all. Keep training

The TSKSR videos were edited by an Akban veteran and posted to Kultura, a shared video service that allows mutual wiki-like editing.
It is indeed a good thing to have the techniques broken down to its components.
If someone from Akban would upload the clips to youtube that would be fine, otherwise, we can barely afford the server fees for our project, and we can not host the clips on our server in a downloadable form.

Flexibility Routine?Paladin347
I'm very new to this site and I am very interested in the fitness routine developed here. Thank you for all the effort that was put into it and sharing this knowledge freely. I see that there are routines for running and strength training, and I am wondering if there is some sort of routine to increase flexibility as well (though the guys in the strength training video looked pretty flexible). Perhaps something done before or after workouts. And do you guys just jump right into the strength routine or do you have a specific warmup you use? Thank you very much for any information.
The Akban strength routineYossi Sheriff
Even after 19 years in development, we are still developing aspects and honing our strength routine. Flexibility is ready for Hebrew part of our site, but it'll take us some time before we'll translate it.
That's the minus side of working with no budget, it's slow. The plus side is that the recession does not slow things.
Flexibility videos and tables will hopefully be ready in June in English, till then, we have plenty of other work trying to finish editing in video all the Ryu kata in three systems.
Thanks for the patience.

Hi Im new to this site too. I have been doing Tai Chi for about a year now. I have a 2 fold question one when would be a good time to do my Tai Chi, before the the running or strenght exercises. The other part is that is Tai Chi a good mach for the flexibility part of the program?
Timing your fitness routineYossi Sheriff
There are many variations to the time and sequence of training routines.
From fitness point of view it does not matter, as long as you are having fun.
You should ask your Sifu, maybe from the perspective of your discipline the time you do the fitness in relation to your Tai Chi is important.
Tai Chi is a great exercise, but it does not supplement flexibility.

I don't think that the timing matters. What matters is your personal preference.
What I suggested is that you'll ask your Tai chi teacher, maybe he thinks differently.

Hi. Thanks for the excellent page! Congratulations to all involved.
I am a beginner and have some doubts. Sorry if they are stupid...
1) Streght routine - I must do it every day before running or just in the days indicated in the running table?
2) Flexibility is part of the routine for you? If yes, every day?
3) How long is going to take between basic and intermediate running table? and between intermediate and advanced?
4) In the "Basic Streght Routine" there are a lot of pictures different from the workout in the basic streght table. When is it good to add these to my streght routine?
Thank you again!

Strength and fitness routines - answersYossi Sheriff
Get a thorough physical exam and an OK from a physician before starting out. Recent studies we conducted showed us that getting a heart attack while doing the routine is no fun at all
1) You can do the strength routine on any day you choose. It does not matter if it's on a running day or not.
2) The flexibility routine is basic and we still haven't translated the Hebrew tables to English. Sorry about that, so much content so little manpower...
3) You should run the tables at the rate and tempo depicted. It takes time, we know.
4) The basic strength routine pictures are the whole "Himum", meaning the flexibilty/yoga/strength we do before each training session. The strength routine is the basic necessities.

Which "X-Kan" would be the best? What's the difference?Yoshukaikarateguy
Hello!!!!!!!!!! I was wanting to ask everyone here a quick question. I was wondering out of the three "X-Kan" which one is the best? I'm wanting to start in Ninjutsu, (actually took a class last Sunday under the Genbukan). There's a Genbukan Dojo about 45 mins. from my house, another Genbuakn school 1 hr 20 mins from my house, two Bujinkan schools about 1 hr 30 mins from my house, a Bujinkan breakaway about 1 hr 30 mins forom my house, and a Jinenkan school 4 hr 45 mins from my house. Which one would be the best?????? I'd like everyone's thoughts. Also could you all let me know what's the difference between the schools? Please!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Thanks
Which x-kan is the best?Yossi Sheriff
The X-kans, the Ninjutsu schools originating in Takamatzu sensei, all rely on initially similar curriculum.
Your question is without a good answer. All practice and tutoring are individual, they all depend on the instructor, not on the system.
Our suggestion? just try each instructor and see.
Good luck!

Why did Jinenkan and Genbukan broke with BujinkanYossi Sheriff
Two different reasons.
Jinenkan and Fumio Manaka sensei just wanted time and space to develop freely. Manaka sensei gives credit to his teacher, Hatsumi sensei.
Genbukan is a different story. I don't know the details for sure, just rumors, but Tanemura sensei does not give credit to Hatsumi, his teacher. That is not good.

Why did Jinenkan and Genbukan broke with BujinkanYoshukaikarateguy
Thank you again. I did hear one thing from a Jinenkan Instructor about the Genbukan, he told me that Tanemura got into a fight with Hatsumi at his mother's funeral over how one of Tanemura's students was disciplined. Mr. Joseph said that is a "no no" in Japan. Also I think that the Genbukan "down talks" the Bujinkan a bit, just because of the direction Hatsumi took it. Mr. Joseph said that when Manaka sensei left the Bujinkan it was on good terms. He said that Manaka asked if he could leave and do his own thing, and Hatsumi said go with god. But I didn't know how much of this story was "true", that's why I asked you all on this forum. Does the AKBAN keep ties with the Bujinkan or do you all stand on your own two feet? Also if you had to pick between the Genbukan or Jinenkan which would you go with?

Hi Yossi,
I accidently stumbled across your site by accident the other day and would just like to say that I think its brilliant what you guys are doing and keep up the excellent work. You guys have high morales as you are freely sharing your knowledge and not cashing in on it. Well done. I think its fantastic.
Im looking at your ninjutsu belt requirements and I think it would be an absolute waste not to learn it. I have tried to find a place to train but the closest one is too far for me to travel. Instead I have found someone who wants to learn this with me and work out the movements from the videos and explanations on a weekly basis. Do you have any tips for me? Maybe we could, when we feel ready and knowledgable enough... pop over and get graded. Or send a video for you to look at. Or grade ourselves with strict scrutiny? Im just throwing out some ideas, lol.
I wont be jumping straight into the deep end as i have spent a few years in different martial arts from boxing, muay thai, jeet kune do, and then spent a year studying ju jitsu which looks similar in practice. I feel its time to knuckle down to study one style completley and this is the style to which i want to put all my efforts into.
Many thanks for reading this post.

Im looking at your ninjutsu belt requirements and I think it would be an absolute waste not to learn it. I have tried to find a place to train but the closest one is too far for me to travel. Instead I have found someone who wants to learn this with me and work out the movements from the videos and explanations on a weekly basis. Do you have any tips for me? Maybe we could, when we feel ready and knowledgable enough... pop over and get graded. Or send a video for you to look at. Or grade ourselves with strict scrutiny? Im just throwing out some ideas, lol.
I wont be jumping straight into the deep end as i have spent a few years in different martial arts from boxing, muay thai, jeet kune do, and then spent a year studying ju jitsu which looks similar in practice. I feel its time to knuckle down to study one style completley and this is the style to which i want to put all my efforts into.
Many thanks for reading this post.
Hi, thanksYossi Sheriff
This website involves a lot of work, but we are trying to make the information in it better.
Right now one of us, Keith, is trying to improve the User interface of the wiki. Hopefully we will see the results in few weeks.
I am now transferring the techniques into Hebrew, as, strangely, most of the content was written in English.
Our next project is retaking most of the techniques in HD video and adding some tutorials to contextualize the traditional techniques.
I think that training alone, without the supervision of an instructor, is pretty dangerous and might lead to injury, so we do not have an online program that cashes on our knowledge.
Please enjoy the stuff we document, again, thank you for your post.

Dojo ListKapitaenUnfug
Hey!
Grats for this nice site!
I wonder, if you could publish a dojo list for AKBAN and maybe other Martial Arts Clubs?
I´d like to know, if you train all the stiles (BJJ, Muay Thai, Judo etc) in 'one' dojo, means, if this belongs to your Ninjutsu curriculum?! Or do you train just the Bujinkan stuff and just put the other stiles on the page for common information?
Greetings

The Akban curriculumYossi Sheriff
The veterans who learned in Akban are based in Bujinkan/ Jinenkan syllabus.
We take traditional kata from this syllabus, practice these as accurately as we can and then try to see how it works in Randori, sparring.
Doing this kind of work systematically for many years (the Akban Methodical Pyramid) has forced us to be in top fitness, and to augment our practice with many training methods and techniques from other martial arts.
BJJ, Judo, Muai thai feature prominently because they contain indispensable skills for sparring.
We are slowly translating the Hebrew biographies of the instructors to English. It'll take time, sorry, too many tasks

We are systematically adding new videos and text.
The rate of translating from Hebrew to English has gone down due to the relatively small number of Akban veterans working on the project.
But we are proceeding steadily. Glad you can use our site.

Thank you for your trustYossi Sheriff
I teach only in groups, in Israel, and in years long process.
From my experience person who is not feeling well can not commit to long term processes, only to short ones.
My advice, an advice I myself took once, is to seek some sort of emotional support.
I am not that support you need, I teach people who actually do not need me, that gives them (and me) freedom to stop training and be free.

WelcomeYossi Sheriff
Welcome, friends in martial arts.
This board is fairly new, I just started it today, 12th February, 2008. In the Hebrew section of our site we have a crowded forum full of our practicing members.
So we did not hurry to build another forum, but the growing number of viewers from all over the world caused us to rethink.
I guess that at the beginning it will be a strange forum. In a web site with over 10000 pages of content many will probably get in here, read my post and carry on, but some, maybe even you, will feel free to express their thoughts and questions here. Please do.
We will read this forum every day and if you post here we will try to answer to the best of our knowledge and courtesy. I will.
Just one of the young guys, after 24 hour training...

how can i become part of your totally rad ninjutsu training program......i would do anything to train with you......
How can one start training in Budo Ninjutsu?Shimi
Because it take more then 13 years to become an instructor, Akban is not exactly a McDojo. And by the time one finishes the obligatory preparation one is totally totally poor, so one can not even go to the USA for a seminar.
Well, you can come and live in Israel.
I guess it's not worth the effort

Dear friendYossi Sheriff
Training for many years in martial arts demands not only the dedication and will you already show, but a serious amount of real life management - Having a job, earning enough to pay for food, medical bills and rent.
So veterans in our school juggle many hats, parenthood, work, etc. and then add training in a dojo to their life, they learn to be patient and compromise.
It takes an ongoing effort.
Maybe you could use your dedication to hone these adult skills of compromise and start training nearer to the place you live.
I learned of a good Ninjutsu school that is under Jinenkan and is not affiliated with Akban.
Here is their site's address. The sensei is Mr. Mitchel, he is very accurate.

maybe your right....though i dont really feel that way....i have very little in the way of responsibilities......especially in the kids aspect.......for many many years now.....i have wanted to study the art of ninjutsu.....more than ANYTHING ever.....though its not easy to find a place to study.......and teaching myself is not quite preferable....but better than nothing.......ive went to the website you so kindly provided me with....though....at the risk of sounding like im just bitching.....there dojo is in Mahopac....which is about five hours away from where i live.....i guess your right though.....i will just have to practice patience.....and try to find one closer....though the task is an arduous one.....ill never quit...untill i succeed.....by the way.....i love this site.....it is most wonderful.....useful as well...soo thank you for your words of encouragement......and for your guidance.....

Hello everyone, my name is anthony. I live in the United States and I found y'all on the internet. I've seen y'all's videos on this page and the youtube page, and I have to say that what y'all are teaching is great. I like how y'all have added to ninjutsu, but staying to the roots. With this being said, is there a way that I could train under the AKBAN? Ninjutsu here in the U.S is so so, there's a lot of "fackers" in the U.S. I liked how you present the art and the training. Please help me.

X- kan ninjutsu in the USA - the best placesYossi Sheriff
I think that the level of technical abilities is on the rise all over the world, even in Bujinkan dojos.
In the states, I don't personally know instructors in Bujinkan, but there are many good ones.
I would go and train with Mr. Mitchell, if he teaches himself:
New York, Mahopac, Jinenkan Yasuragi Dojo, Dojocho Adam Mitchell, Sandan, Yasuragi Center, 862 Route 6, Mahopac, NY 10541, Phone: (845) 628-5425
Here are some links to Jinenkan dojos
http://www.jinenkanseigi.com/links.htm
As of this time there are no certified Akban instructors in the states. It takes 12-15 years to get a blackbelt and even though more then 100 veterans are training the preparation rate of new instructors is pleasingly slow.
Good luck with your martial journey.

Hello everyone,
My name is Jarrad. I have been a Bujinkan practitioner for many years now, and I must say that has to be one of the best sites I have come across. Very down to earth and to the point. I would like to take this time to introduce myself, and ask if there is anything that I could in any way help with.
Thank you all for your time and all your hard work.

Hi Jarrad,Yossi Sheriff
My name is Yossi and I have been a Bujinkan practitioner till the mid 1990's. Our syllabus is mainly Bujinkan koryu, but since we spar we augmented it, and still do, according to the Methodical pyramid .
Since we always spar we need to be fit, accordingly we devised, over more then fifteen years, a very gradual fitness program. We still update it, but it takes several months for us to translate updates into English and Japanese .
We would like to see our poor techniques replaced with better ones in our Martial arts encyclopedia. Editing is open to all, but i think many are reluctant to edit this particular wiki because of the "museum effect"; they are weary of touching the exhibit...
We built this wiki to document our practice in martial arts and more - to document all martial arts in a semantic database that will allow study and comparison. Feel free to use your experience.

Yossi,
I myself have been raised on full contact (randori) and to say the least have hit a small but not overcome able impasse with my training here in the states. I have enjoyed sampling many different instructors over the past couple of years only to come to the sad conclusion that save for a few higher ranking members I keep coming upon the same strict forms and movements being taught. (Reminds me of watching kids at the local YMCA! LOL!) I know the basics and can only stress their repetition but Hatsumi sensei has stressed more than one time that after a point in your training the Kihon Happo becomes your own. No two people move alike and that is why it is so important that you train with as many people as possible. After which you should sit down and discuss what you have learned about that technique and your own weaknesses. That is the key to mastering your own Taijutsu and building life long friendships in Budo. Sadly again something that is amiss here in the west (mind you not everywhere so anyone else reading please take no offence to this statement) but everyone here seems to horde their skills and try to hide weakness with a mask of ego and power over others. Budo has no name or face, Budo is nowhere and everywhere all at once. Budo is a ghost or vapor, Budo is not fixed to anyone or anything, so Yossi my friend I believe that by augmenting your training that you and your group have only helped Budo to grow. A fixed art is a dead art. I think that Hatsumi sensei has always meant for this to happen. I myself hope to not prove to myself or other how much I know or how strong I am, but just to discover what my weaknesses are and just how much more I have to learn. I have cast off my rank and claim none. It has taken me almost 30 years of my life and training to figure out just how much of a beginner I truly am.:)

What to eat when practicingYossi Sheriff
Hi,
First please let me remind that you should get checked by a medical Doctor before and during any physical practice routine.
The Akban fitness routine is posted on this site, in Hebrew, English and other languages as a reference. Individual adjustments are necessary and can be made by a certified instructor.
The question of what and when to eat if you are practicing is a big one and we are writing the Akban recommendations for it. I think it will be ready before December.
Meanwhile,
1. Try to eat natural food, try to eat less food that is processed. Our law: if the product has more then 5 ingrediends, don't eat it.
2. Eat enough protein, at least 1 gr. per Kg. body weight. If you train hard everyday you can eat more. Remember, there is protein in wheat, rice etc. so take this in acount.
3. Pay attention to your cravings. Especialy concerning vegetables and fruits. Try to eat what you want in this department.
4. Minimize sweets and sweetened drinks.
5. Don't obsess. Take it easy, just enjoy the food you're eating and don't worry too much about the rules I wrote above.

Hi Sean, you are most welcomeYossi Sheriff
As the magnitude of the "documenting martial arts" project was so complex we settled for many substandard techniques and videos.
I think that we can now slowly remedy these techniques and in the next months we will replace almost of them and upload all the kata practiced in Bujinkan and Jinenkan.
Writing up in three languages has complicated things even further, so we do not update our Japanese section all the time. Even the English section gets left out for these reasons. Most of our veterans write in a well trafficked Hebrew forum and we even started to write up wiki articles in Hebrew too.
We are slowly writing things in English to substantiate the videoed material.
I think we are lucky that our site is a Google secret, no one knows about us and that leaves us a space to think things over and write an outrageous wiki articles about Ninjutsu etc.
Keep training,

Hi,
I think what you are doing with the akban wiki is remarkable... I have extensive knowledge of mediawiki/semanticmediawiki and programming for it and want to help out.
For starters I think you could use SemanticForms to help create a better schema for your articles (semanticforms enables you to create "forms" that create wiki articles once they are filled out and saved..) - but I am willing to help in anything you need...

Hi Ben,
First let me apologize for not answering promptly, as the English forum generates so little response I neglected to look at it...
About the semantic forms, that is interesting, could you please mail of post some links and documentation of this?
We can differentiate the "martial arts and fitness wiki" effort into two parts: the technology/user interface and the content. You are most welcomed to help in both, you can further mail me at yossi at akban. org

I ain't able to edit any wiki pages with tags like these:
"is part of Budo Ninjutsu Grade requirements syllabus::Yellow belt | Yellow belt grade requirements"
, if i remove the tag all works fine.
I tried with 3 different browser but all it does is just saying "waiting for www.akban.org" when i klick save or preview.
Anybody else got that problem or knows how to solve it?

Hi everyone, I´m a new user but would like to thank you all for the great work you´ve put into this site. It shows some good research and dedication.
As a quick observation that may help users in the future I think many of the fitness tables should have a .PDF link or printable version.
Some of the tables get cut off on my browser by the google ads, and also it's more comfortable to have the table on paper so you can attach it to your calendar. Helps remind you to train!
Ok, thanks again for the great work and I look forward to all the new updates.

Hi there, thanks for writing. We were so lonelyYossi Sheriff
We are having huge traffic of visitors, but you're almost the first to comment on something we are working on.
The fitness tables in the English section of the Akban web site are part of our project. It took more then fifteen years to collect the data to assemble them and we are currently doing just what you suggested.
Since the effort goes to the martial arts encyclopedia and the fact that this site is multilingual, we guess that the PDF will be ready in two months.
It takes so long because we newly integrated all the data of the last three years and added tables for older people (some of us are slowly aging ) and also correct images for weight training, marathon and ultra marathon tables.
You'll be able to see the PDF and the updates in the middle of May.
Take care and please train only after you get checked by a sport M.D.
