Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Nyojitsu Combat

Thank you all for your comments so far. Nyojitsu combat is a genuine martial art, in existence for over a decade and gaining full recognition through the renowned Dave Turton (9th Dan) of the Self Defence Federation UK. Mr Turton is Europes highest graded pure self defence instructor and examiner; also known as Mr Knowledge, his skills and experience are irrefutable. Nyojitsu Combat gained full recognition this year through Dave Turton and the SDF(UK) However, following traditional martial guidelines it is simply not possible to develop a clearly recognisable and defined style without many thousands of man hours invested into it. This means that Nyojitsu Combat has been quietly propagating over the last ten years or so, developing a solid following. There are few (if any) references to it. Why? Well, similar to developing a new car or a new science for instance - people are very quick to "take" fresh ideas and remarket them, which of course would further hinder the arts development. Consequently conditions of learning had been imposed upon students -one conditon, now obviously a hinderance, was of peaceful silence. Observe, practice. Learn. Keep it real. ..but do not discuss it.

Though disappointed by the decision to delete the article, we understand the reasoning behind it. Clearly, the very neccessity of keeping it quiet appears to have become a downfall. A shame really, as the core benefits of Nyojitsu can be found in body language control and understanding, conflict management and de-escalation - precisely the areas we teach to school students of all ages to help them (and their teachers/siblings) deal with modern day threat (knife crime etc).

Any review or suggestions as to how we may resubmit this article would be well received.
