I was just made aware of this new book by The Reverend Takemi Sasamori.
https://www.amazon.com/Bushido-Chris...anity+sasamori
I will probably read it in the near future as it sounds pretty interesting.
I just wonder if there might be a few students of Ono-ha Itto-ryu who may think it a bit problematic to have Christianity so heavily in the forefront in this Ryuha. Especially in light of the fact that Sasamori-sensei don't want to uphold the Soke-system in his school.
I was already thinking about that after seeing the latest DVD by The Reverend Takemi Sasamori. Of course it was about the Ono-ha Itto-ryu but still a lot what Sensei was talking about was his (christian) faith. I found it quite a bit disturbing when he tried to explain certain waza with stories from the Bible.
What is your take on this? Do you think this helps to get more western students?
