Comment from the magazine "Budo International"
Shoto Tanemura is one of the most brilliant of the great Ninjutsu Masters. Mot only has he inherited enormous knowledge from the traditional schools, but he has also been able to maintain a sense of dignity during the worst moments of the period after the Ninja Boom of the 1980's.
Peter Vermeeren is one of the few disciples that Tanemura has allowed to work with fairly ample freedom of movement and this is because of the way in which this Flemish Master has earned the confidence of his beloved Master. The veneration that he feels for him can only be compared to the loyalty that he professes and the dedication that signals a line of action that is totally defined by the idea of assisting his Master in the work of spreading the styles that he has learned from Tanemura, albeit not at any price.
We think that it is valid to look at the Ninpo this way since we sincerely believe that in variety there is not only the joy but also the ability of exercising our liberty. Variety enriches us at the
same time as it stimulates us and focuses us on what is really important: finding our own path.
We have made a tape with Master Vermeeren so that in this way we can continue to develop the tremendous impulse and the renewed forces with which Ninjutsu is waking up after a long period of lethargy from the exile imposed on it by the martial community after its years of enormous success. Tanemura himself has authorized this video which means that it comes with its own guarantee when you take into account that this tireless Master is much more than someone who says "I'll take care of everything", which we know is impossible to do when you've got something really good.
The technical aspects of this video have been done with Central European purity and professional pride envied by many Japanese, signal a clear difference between other Ninjutsu schools. For lovers of this Martial Art this will be a very interesting video because it is not often than you see this particular form of Ninpo in so many details. The major part of it is dedicated to combat without weapons even though there is also a section at the end dedicated to sword techniques, Bo and so on. It is a work which brings a sense of freshness as
well as tradition to a theme which is returning with renewed strength.

Been watching the video quite a few times now, and I must say it is an excellent complement to have for people who are new to- or starting out in the Genbukan. It shows basic and more advanced techniques in a very clear detailed way, which makes it easy for the serious student to pick out the patterns and integrate them in their own training. Sometimes when you are really immersed in your own training, it is good to be able to look at it from "a distance", and seeing the basics performed with such a strong spirit in such a detailed manner, makes the tape a good source of both inspiration and insight into the ground pillars of this vast, wonderful art.
