Thank you all for this very thoughtful and great discussion. Just thought I would share an interesting discussion I once had. I once asked Bill Gleason, who runs Shobu Aikikai in Brookline, about what Tony Annessi does. Bill replied, "Oh that's ju jitsu." I asked the same question to Ed Melaugh the Small Circle JJ man from Woburn and he said, Oh that's Aikido." Two sides of the same page??

Although a good point Stan-if one were asking about jujutsu they would ask jujutsu people. The only thing I can compare it too is Aikido as I used to be one and it looks very much like it. Although there maybe exceptions (i'm sure) I haven't met a jujutsu guy who would call that jujutsu. Hey! Theres nothing wrong with that either. He has a big school with lots of satisfied students. I am told his Karate is good stuff by people who would know. I wouldn't know as I don't know a thing about karate.
BTW its a safe and sane school.
If you see Jigme would you ask him to contact me by prvite email here? He knows how to do it.
Thanks bud
