Thanks Paul it all helps. It is difficult to know who is who in terms of authority/legitimacy so your experience is appreciated!
Kind regards

Can anyone please enlighten me about Sekiguchi ryu in Australia - in particular Sekiguchiryu Batto jutsu. There seems to be a number of schools that have this name and I would be interested in...
I am certainly not an authority on the Takumakai but I am happy to share my perspective. I have practiced under a range of senior sensei so I can comment from a varied training experience within the...
That is a great achievement - heartfelt congratulations from Australia.
Happy New Year to one and all - hope the new year finds you healthy, happy and progressing along your chosen paths.
I like the turn of phrase that Kit used of "knowing what to do but not how". Principle without form is as useless as form without principle. There are those who want to bypass all that laborious...
As a final aknowledgement of closure, I would like to appologise unreservedley to any and all parties that may have felt offended, hurt or aggreived by my previous posts on this thread. I would also...
Fortunately for all concerned a mediation was held last night between myself and the Aikido sensei I have mentioned in previous posts above. It became clear through this mediation that there had been...
Mr Covington,
Thank you for your suggestion. Understanding the historical context now, it appears to be something that I will just have to resign myself to live with.
Best regards,

I am glad this thread has come out of the woodwork, very interesting discussion.
Cheers
Thanks, Nathan, Christopher and Neil,
I appreciate your posts.
As far as passive aggressive politics, I guess I will just have to deal with the politics as needed.
I have posted a lighter version of this on the Aikido Journal Forum as well - guess I just needed to vent ;-)
Has anyone else noticed cases of clear resentment towards Daito-ryu from some in the...
I think that Kondo Sensei's series on Mainline Daito-ryu Ikkajo series would be of value to you.

This one crops up from time to time - don't feel bad about asking about it, at least you know how controversial this group is now.
I very much appreciate the material in this book, there are some controversial opinions expressed but I think that such a dedicated master such as Sagawa sensei is entitled to his opinions. The...
Hi Nathan,
in answer to your question on which book/what provenance the technique is from, within the Soden books I have been advised that it is volume 9 technique 17. This book is attributed to...
It would be very interesting to train with the Iwama Aikido guys! Perhaps I may get the opportunity some day.
But for now I have enough on my plate with DRAJ!
After reviewing the original article from Aikido Journal cited by Nathan I have to revise my previous statement - this technique is koshiguruma with the hip used to pop uke over.
I take Ellis's...
Great video,
I see now that the technique is not at all related to koshigaruma - my mistake!.
It is interesting to note that it appears to have come from the soden books said to have been...
I will have a look at the Aikido Journal issue Nathan is refering to and see if I recognise the technique and people demonstrating it.
In the technique I believe that Nathan is refering to (Koshigaruma) in the Takumakai there is a side movement to move offline before a chidori (plovers foot) style entry to uke's centre to effect...
I have practiced Koshigaruma in both the hip wheel form (uke moves around the hip) and using the hip as in aikido at more than one Takumakai dojo in Japan. The use of the hip is "generally"...
Hi if you are interested in contacting Amatsu sensei try going to the Fudoshin website and contact Jyri. The Finland Dojo have had the most contact with Amatsu Sensei. He has not been involved with...
