Thread: Shindo Yoshin ryu / Shinto Yoshin ryu jujutsu

    Mr Threadgill,

    I will contact you soon to let you know when I can visit your dojo. Thanks

    Back to the incident mentioned in the article. I appreciate your evasiveness and not wishing to be characterized as a superhero or anything but I think your experience gives you a perspective on martial training that many of us would find enlightening. There's lots of talk of "realistic" martial arts floating around but most of the people spouting this stuff have never actually been mugged or attacked. Sometimes they may have been bouncers but that perspective is drastically different from a mugging or suprise attack in your home. The addition of knives and guns up the ante even more. Couldn't you elaborate on this more. I feel this subject is really important and your position as a traditional jujutsu instructor gives you insight most victims of such an attack might not recall or appreciate.

    How about some of the other readers here?

    Luck works!

    In fact, It's one of my favorite techniques.

    Hello Paul,

    I was wondering how long it would be before somebody caught your confusing Konishi for Ohtsuka. It's tough keeping all this stuff straight sometimes. Takamura Yukiyoshi's grandfather changed his name three times in his life... that we know of! That makes for some real confusion.

    I'm with Neil on this. I really don't know very much, nor am I very skilled. I have been fairly lucky though. I even won a raffle recently! A priveledged parking space at work for a year!

    In my mind though, luck isn't caused by chance, but rather by divine providence. We can all thank God that Toby-san is not pushing daisies, and was able to defend his home and family to the extent that he did, and is still able to join us here on e-budo and contribute significantly to our discussions.

    James Williams just gave me permission to post this from his bulletin board at bugei.com:

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Congratulations to Toby Threadgill sensei on his receiving a Menkyo Kaiden from the late Takamrua Yokiyoshi senseii. This Menkyo Kaiden was presented to Threadgill sensei by Don Angier sensei, the Soke of Yanagi ryu Aiki Bugei. Angier sensei fulfilled his obligation to Takamura sensei to present this Menkyo Kaiden to Threadgill sensei subsequent to Threadgill sensei’s 42 birthday. Stanley Pranin sensei, the editor of Aikido Journal, also fulfilled his obligation to Takamura sensei by assisting Angier sensei in the presentation.. All of those in attendance were honored to witness this rare and special event. Toby Threadgill sensei is a close friend and an exceptional teacher and practioner. Takemura sensei’s faith and trust has been well placed, may his spirit rest in peace.
    James Williams

    On behalf of e-budo, congrats Tobi on the Menkyo Kaiden.

    I just saw Toby this weekend and I am sorry to report he is the same great guy as always
    For those lucky enough to be around after the Bluming worksop he did a short informal demo of SYR.

    Default Congratulations

    All,

    Let me just say I had the privilege to meet Toby in person this past weekend at the Jon Bluming seminar. Let me just say a nicer guy you can never meet.

    You would think a menkyo kaiden holder would be an arrogant prig, especially one that was JUST AWARDED. Not Toby. He sat right in there with the rest of the average joe students and practiced the techniques as taught. He admitted when there were things he was not experienced at, and he willingly placed himself on the same level as those of us with half or fewer than his years in martial arts training. Nothing he said or did would lead you to believe he was other than a kyu-grade student at a seminar (well, his karate is really good)....

    ...until he demonstrated Shindo Yoshin-ryu for us after the seminar was over. Toby moves with an authority and lack of force that is truly impressive. Yes I said lack of force. He literally drops you right where you stand and you barely feel it, 'til he starts head butting you or dropping the point of his elbow in the side of your head!

    And his knife stuff is beyond scary.

    Shindo Yoshin-ryu will no doubt benefit immeasurably by having such a man as its leader in the U.S.

    ....now if we could just get him out of those dresses..... (heh heh)
