Hello all.
I find the recent discussion about Tanemura's history in regards to Hatsumi and Takamatsu most interesting.
There's a question I would like to ask, purely because there seems to be some discrepancy between what was previously published/intimated and what is now being offered as fact.
In his book 'Ninpo Secrets', Shoto Tanemura claims Takamatsu as his teacher. But, now this letter (http://www.genbukan.org/cgi-bin/site.pl?25&fileID=789) states that he was only ever a student of Hatsumi, Sato and Kimura.
If this is so, what direct teaching can actually exist as regards Tanemura and Takamatsu?
Can somebody please explain what's going on here?
Regards to all.
Joe Jackson.
