My dad introduced professor nakae to the Toronto police dept. and sponcered seminars at the above mentioned military base .
Professor nakae moved to Toronto Canada where he was involved in teaching "goshinjutsu" programs at many comunity centres and specialized training for police and military personal rather than the traditional dojo he organized in his younger days .
His influence on canadian jujutsu is without question , We were always told that we were learning Kito ryu Jujutsu , many of the dojo's established in canada are based on the teaching of professor nakae .
In edmonton AB 2 schools are derived from students 1. the Dojo of Sensi Kevin George and now his son Robin 2 the dojo of Charles Scott SR and now charles jr.
In ontario I think you find all the old timers will offer insight into Professor Nakae on the influence of most of the modern Dojo's " can Ryu , Milton etc
I will ask my dad for some pictures infact I beleave my father has a origional blade that he was gifted by professor nakae in the late 60's .
