Dear Folks:
When the name Obata comes up I have found it usually touches on his writings about sword, or his translation of HEIHO OKUGISHO. I know he has done both a book and tape entitles SAMURAI AIKIJUJUTSU but I have yet to see where anyone has actually discussed his approach, background, pedagogy etc etc. Is this a worthwhile topic? Has this already been discussed? I did a search here and the responses seemed to deal only with the swordwork. Anyone?
Best Wishes,
Bruce
