Hello again everyone,
Great to see the interest from everyone! I see Mr. George Kohler has responded to this thread. I would give it some time before making donations and such as I know George...
Hello all,
With the right discussions I would be willing to fund the entire project. Of course I have various questions about the site, support and the hosting. Over the years I have been merely...
I wanted to give this some time to pass but thought something should be shared. It is with great sadness I report that Kusuhara Shigeyoshi passed at the age of 71. He was soke of Hontai Yoshin...
Hello everyone,
I haven't done much in terms of styles of Karate but have been around it a lot while being involved in Japanese martial arts. As FireFlea also pointed out, during a late night...
Now we are rolling fellas! We have a new addition to the discussion! Welcome Mr. Weil!
Good posts men!
This is where the discussion could become sticky. The difference in Koryu or Gendai...I...
Again good information Mr. Buyens,
I can't reallly comment on Mr. Tanaka and his budo training with other schools although I do know he was once a student in Enshin Ryu and said by many to be an...
Good points Mr. Buyens,
I know everyone has their own side of the history. Even the Yamato Yoshin Ryu group say that they teach the correct Minaki sensei teachings. I am sure everyone of the...
Great post Mr. Weigel with some great insight into Motoha Yoshin Ryu.
So now we know that the older teachings exist from Yasumoto sensei as well. Interesting that he chose to give makimono...
Hello again,
It appears some of the postings here have been misunderstood or taken personally.
My original statement when entering this conversation was in fact a compliment to Mr. Buyens and...
Sorry Mr. Buyens, what I mentioned was in no way to slight Minaki sensei or his teachings, but only to show what the current generation of budoka are doing has also been done in the past.
Minaki...
Hello guys,
These exchanges have some great information, and I also know Mr. Buyens has been deeply involved with Hontai Yoshin Ryu for many years so I am sure we can all gain insight from his...
I will agree with everyone here as well. In addition, perhaps not in this case, sometimes in Jujutsu ryu the senior(s) are sometimes less inclined to take the ukemi due to their advanced age but I...
Hello everyone,
I have a few older books and other items I am going to be placing on ebay. One of which is the original Ninpo Taijutsu Book from Hatsumi sensei (the purple one). I also have the...
Paul my good friend!
I have an old one like that you are describing. Give me a ring and I would be glad to send you some info. I also have an assortment of old Japanese texts with pictures,...
I study both Koryu Jujutsu and GJJ and find that both have some great points toward practical application.
Here is a small portion of an older Japanese article on this issue of it being Judo or...
Hello guys,
Looks like this thread had kappo applied to it...
Minaki sensei was obviously a strong student as he did receive several scrolls as well as Yagi Ikigoro katana which is still used...
Hey,
Notice that I said I heard and also added possibly. Nothing is ever totally concrete. But I seen it with my own eyes as well as heard it. The teacher mentioned was Kakuno Happeita.

My Japanese is horrible but my guess at the kanji in the bottom left corner is Haku Ryu (white dragon) which could be one of Hatsumi sensei bugo (martial name). Just a guess though.
Todd...
Some branches may only use the term Menkyo and not Menkyo kaiden. If a person receives Menkyo they may have practiced Kukishin ryu bo but possibly wouldn't have it all.
There are a lot of records...
Hello,
Over the years I have purchased an assortment of makimono and densho of various old traditions. I have taken some of them and put them on cdrom and am listing them on ebay. If you are...

Hello,
Just a quick note as I am working. This is another example that we really don't know all that there is in various Ryu. Many of us want to say that we have the complete collection of this...
Uh oh,
Someone on here telling lies about me again...Paul? :-)
I am just a student of Japanese martial arts but I do welcome anyone with a good heart to come and train with us. We have a great...
Well, don't flame me for this, and quite frankly it doesn't really matter, but I was told by someone that Gyokushin ryu didn't come about until much later and that it wasn't from Takamatsu sensei. ...
