Here are some more information for Suzuki Samurai:

Over the next couple of day's I will writing an article of the history of Pre-WWII Japanese Jujitsu/Judo. I wasn't sure where to start, but here I am so let's get started.

I'm going to start with H. Irving Hancock, who in the early 1900's wrote several books on the history of Japanese physical training & Jujitsu. I will start with his book Japanese Physical Training written in 1903.

"Subsequently he studied in Nagasaki, under Inouye San, instructor of Jiu-jitsu in the police department of that city".

This was the first time I heard of Inouye. Now if we look at Hancock's other book Jiu-jitsu Combat Tricks written a year later in 1904:

"Exponents of the Tenjin School of jiu-jitsu have developed in all its possible perfection a style of stopping the boxer's blow that cannot be surpassed for neatness of execution, effectiveness and swiftness. It is a feat that applies only to stopping a left-hand blow by the boxer."

Before leaving this book, the reason for the above two quotes are:

1.) The mentioning of Inouye, the jujitsu instructor of the Nagasaki police dept.

2.) The mention of the system "Tenjin/Tenshin"

Later you will see where I'm going with this.

Another quote that is very interesting.

"In Japan the full course in jiu-jitsu requires four years time".

That seems very reasonable, as I have read that it takes about 15 years to receive a Menkyo Kaiden in Tenjin Shinyo Ryu today. The question is, why so long? I don't have 15 years to devote to one art.

At this point I would like to bring up another old book on jiu-jitsu, "THE YABE SCHOOL OF JIU JITSU" written in 1904 by Yae Kichi Yabe. In Yabe's book he mentions that the system is based on that of "Tenshin". Also in this book is the phase "Vital Touches" used to describe Atemi or "Ate"!

Professor John J. O'Brien states that he received his diploma in Jiu Jitsu in 1905 from the Governor of Nagasaki. O'Brien spent ten years as Inspector of Police in Nagasaki. He was responsible for introducing Presiedent Teddy Roosevelt to Jiu Jitsu as well as instructing Colonel A.J. Drexel Biddle.

Next we move on to Col. Risher W. Thornberry. Thornberry wrote several books on jujitsu from 1905 to 1933. In his first jujitsu book written in 1905, the first page is very interesting. It shows a picture of Prof. Kishoku Inouye, "Instructor to the Nagasaki Police". At the top of the page it reads, "Jiu-jitsu - As taught by Prof. Inouye to over 2,000 Officers and Soldiers now at the front line." Reference to the Russo/Japanese war.

This book was written only a year or two after Hancock's book. They both mention Inouye & Tenshin. A definite connection is beginning to develop.

An interesting quote from Thornberry's book,

"Jiu-jitsu has a weapon in the form of "atemi, or vital touches", which may be administered with the thumb, the clenched hand, the elbows, the tows, the edge of the hand, or even with the head." Again, the reason for mentioning this quote is the use of the word "Vital touches".

Research shows that Thornberry actively taught jiu-jitsu. One of Thornberry's students was Samuel R. Linck. Linck went on to publish a book in 1943 called "COMBAT JIU JITSU". An excellent book. Linck studied under Thornberry in Los Angeles for a number of years. Linck received a "Master Diploma" from Thornberry in "Tenshin Ryu" dated May 6th, 1935.

In Linck's book he offers a brief history of jiu-jitsu.

"These forms of the art were closely guarded and only taught to the samurai or warrior class, the group now known as the Black Dragon Society".

Linck taught a man by the name George Tate. Linck and Tate taught a jiu-jitsu class in Los Angeles. Later on, Tate succeeded Linck as instructor and continued to teach and train in Jiu-jitsu. Tate went on to become the jiu-jitsu instructor for the Los Angeles police department and later conducted class at the L.A. Judo Club.

How to Select a Personal Injury Attorney: 10 Tips to Jump-Start the Selection Process

Getting injured in an accident is a miserable experience. Don't be a victim twice by hiring the wrong lawyer. Here are some tips to safely navigate the process.

1. Testimonials

Read the testimonials in his advertising. Do they sound authentic? Or are they attempting to create an unrealistic picture.

2. Certification

Is the lawyer certified in personal injury in the state where he practices. Many states don't have certification but for those who do it is an opportunity for a lawyer to gain special expertise in his chosen field.

3. Limited Number of Practice Areas

Go with a lawyer who works exclusively in personal injury or who has at most two areas of practice.

4. Published Works

Has the lawyer published books or articles on personal injury subjects? It takes work to research and write a technical article on injury law. And it helps a lawyer develop expertise in his chosen area.

5. Speaking Engagements

If the injury lawyer has spoken to lawyers on the subject of injury law that's a great sign that he has a successful reputation among fellow lawyers.

6. Bar Service

Activity in state or national bar associations shows a lawyers willingness to give back to the community.

7. Representative Cases

Has the lawyer handled a high profile case? You want to know that the attorney you are considering has been successful. Lawyers who handle high profile cases have usually already distinguished themselves in some way before getting that "big" case. It's evidence of success.

8. What claims does the lawyer make about his service?

Claims like "we answer the phone" don't cut it. You expect him to answer the phone. However, more personalized claims can give clues about what the lawyer and his firm consider important. Here are some that, if true, carry some meaning:

a. We return client phone calls within 24 hours.

b. We utilize a "team approach" in our firm.

c. We provide you the cell phone number of the lawyer assigned to your case (this shows an unusually high degree of dedication).

d. We speak Spanish, or Italian or Greek.

e. We offer weekend and evening appointments (at my firm we've found that clients who insist on late evening or weekend appointments don't make good clients so we don't offer this service but if you absolutely can't make it on a weekday then this service will be critical for you.

f. We have 20 years experience (there's no substitute for experience in the injury business as experience translates into getting the best possible dollar on the client's case).

g. We provide help on property damage claims (some injury firms won't touch a property damage claim and this can be a problem if you get offered a clearly inadequate sum for your totaled Suzuki Samurai).

h. We offer home and hospital visits if you are unable to travel because of your injuries.

9. Personality

From his website you should be able to gather some clues as to what this lawyer is like. Are there photographs of the lawyer? Has he shared why he became a lawyer? Has she described cases that were important to her?
Has the lawyer been involved in the community? Are there inspirational quotes on the site that help to define the lawyer's values? What do the testimonials say about the lawyer?

10. Guarantees

Lawyers are not permitted by their rules of ethics to make specific promises about the outcome of a case. However, they can guarantee a prompt response to your request for information. What about guaranteeing that there are no upfront costs?

Summary

With a little bit of care in perusing the qualifications and characteristics of your prospective injury lawyer, you have a much better chance of picking one who will work well with you and get you the result you are hoping for.

Whats the gas milage for all the types of Suzuki Samurai's, and how much do u think one is?used i mean?

I wanna get a Suzuki Samurai, but i wanna know the Gas Milage and stuff for them? do they have trouble at all? and how much do u think a used one is

In "realistic" driving I would think max about 25 MPG. They were very cheap vehicles that did not have much "tech" stuff on them. Also geared low which relates to the lower mileage. However a huge amount of fun. I have known folks to get higher than that, but they were real conservative drivers. Transfer cases go out easily but fun vehicles and easy to work on mostly. Light as heck so great off road as hard to get stuck. Like the old Volkswagen Bugs they often "ride over" sand and mud rather than sinking in like the big heavy vehicles. Be sure to test the 4 wheel drive and transfer case before buying though as they are a very big problem part and getting harder to find used at a decent price. Engine is relatively dependable.

Evolution of the cute-ute
The 2010 Kia Soul follows the cute-ute tradition of SUV-like vehicles that are not intended for off-road duty. It’s got great style at a great price and is a surprisingly practical and fun option for city driving.
