I was told by Nakamoto Masahiro Sensei that it is an abbreviated form of Ohaiyo Gozaimasu. Which is like saying good morning, or it's early.

That might/might not be the case, but that still doesnt answer the question, why do they pronounce it Yo, & not Ryu? I hope you dont take that, as me being rude, cause I'm not trying to be.
No, he doesnt do that style. Its another form of Yoshin Ryu.
I am pretty sure this is the kanji used: 柳 .
I have a friend of mine that does a form of Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu, atleast thats part of the name, the way they pronounce it, atleast. Anyway, one of my Sensei, who is a native Japanese seen his...
A few weeks ago I went over to train w/ a friend of mine that was a member of the American Jujutsu Karate Association started by the late Grose Sensei. I was looking at his certificates, and if I can...
Hi Prince; No, there's no mention of his style. But, the list of people he trained with was like a who's who of that time, including Itosu Sensei, Higashionna, Kentsu Yabu, and bojutsu w/ Oshiro;...
Is this art taught by anyone in Okinawa still? Was it founded there, or founded here in the US, after he moved here?
Prince, I'm still not sure about Shudokan either. I can tell you that Kanken...
For those of you that might be interested, Miyazato Eiko Sensei has just released a DVD: http://www.theokinawan.com/dvdmiyazato.php
Thank you for the explanation, it's much appreciated.
Tim,
This might be a weird question, & hopefully doesnt throw off the disscussion, but when Onaga Michiko Sensei comes out to the stage, what does she do? It looks like she's squating in Heiko...
