Dr. Bodiford,
I just had the opportunity to read your summarization of the information contained in the book Yawara: Shirarezaru Nihon Jujutsu no sekai by Yamafa Minoru (BAB Japan Publishers 1997), from the Aug. 1998 issue of RYUBI, Vol. 6/2
Utterly fascintating!
I hope I am not being I bother, but I think this might be an excellent piece to post here on E-Budo, in the spirit of the recent posts you have made on Itto-ryu and the meaning of Soke. It provides an excellent picture of jujutsu during the 1880-1910 era, and I think the information in there might come as a surprise to many who have a very different picture of traditional jujutsu. Some of it is very close to stuff I have seen practiced in modern submission jujutsu dojo!!
How about it? You have already cracked the floodgates of learning for those of us here at E-Budo, why not drown us!!
