Of course this should not be a 2 person’s discussion. But you are still around here and seem to have some insights into a system that i think is not so far away of what i do. And you are willing to share some of your knowlege. Wy should this not be interresting for other readers also?
And Yes you are right. Just Hontai is a little silly. I got a little lazy. Sometimes in mind i think about Moto-ha (yoshinryu) and Hontai (yoshinryu). Couse both is yoshinryu. But i shouldn`d write it like that.
I´m thankfull for your interpretation as told by your teachers. What else can we do.
I like the branch i`m training in and i have my teacher. And of course it is a individual choice. But it is always good to see one thing from as much angels as possible.
I think we are from the same source. Maybe the technikes differ somewhat. And maybe will get more far away from each other in future Generations. But i think both Yasumoto sensei and Inoue sensei do theire best to teach and take care of what they have learnd from teire teacher. Of course everybody in his individual way. But becouse both have the same teachers it can not differ that much.
I always thought that Toyama ryu had become a "ad one" to Hontai yoshinryu
Of course not mixed, just added.
Yasumoto sensei as written before dont teach Toyama ryu. But sometimes he teach Mugai ryu. Also not mixed up.
