I am a practitioner of TSKSR, so I can't comment directly on your question. I'd say Paul's response above is very insightful. For elaboration I think you should ask your teacher. Also further...
Hi William - absolutely, I'm sorry I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been in my post.
The main point I was trying to make is that the label 'dirty judo' is something applied to any/all...
Of course, the label 'dirty judo' has likely been applied just to distinguish your judo-based goshinjutsu from genuine koryu jujutsu.
The label says nothing about the quality or efficacy of the...
I have a good friend in Tn - not sure exactly where, but I think he's in Nashville also. He's just started learning TSKSR, with a group under the auspices of Relnick s, I think. Let me know if...
Not formal training, but Kurosawa brought in Sugino Sensei of the Katori Shinto ryu as swordsmanship advisor for several films, beginning with Seven Samurai.

You're welcome.
Sorry I don't really understand the question - you are asking for the names of the densho they have used? Then asserted that they don't have any densho?
I'm afraid I'm not...
Wow - this is the third time I've seen this question asked in the past month.
No, not koryu - a reconstruction, based on legitimate densho (as far as I know)
I'm not aware of any groups outside...
Hi Aaron - sent you a PM
Just wanted to inform everyone of the wonderful films made by Jon Braeley over at http://www.emptymindfilms.com/
I have no connection other than as a satisfied customer - I've got most of the...
I certainly never claimed any sort of authority - in fact I specifically mentioned that others who are authorities on this subject, have discussed it at length here in the past. In short, like Mr...
And the Gracies/Machados officially named their art Brazilian Jiu-jitsu..
You seem to be quite taken with the whole budo/bujutsu dichotomy, per Donn Draeger. This topic has been discussed in...
Sources? I've never heard that jujutsu ryuha were outlawed?
One of the difficulties some people have on forums is making the mistake of thinking everyone is equal online; this is not the case. When you join a forum you are in effect 'entering someone else's...
I'm afraid I can't find it Mr Judge - the closest I can see is 'Tenshin Shirai Ryu' - there are a few entries for 'Shintai', but none relate to a ryuha; am I missing it somewhere?
I think the inclusion of
Probably indicates that the chances of finding any verification of the style in Japan is slim.. what that means i suppose depends on your own assessment of the...
FWIW, Sugino dojo people secure the sageo back in the hakama himo:

Fair enough - seemed like standard thread drift to me, but the dude abides..
And if there's only ONE verifiable lineage of Taiji - through YLC.. how is the Zhaobao lineage 'well documented and quite clear'?
What a surprise. You're welcome to your views Peter - if your version of 'scholarly and documentable' (sic) includes referencing a collaboration between Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, well.. all I...
Nice - cheers mate; having bought the ebook I'm in no real rush, I figured it will arrive sometime
Hmm - I placed an order on the third of Jan and am yet to receive it..
I received an email on Jan 5 saying my 'order was back ordered' whatever that means.
Also FWIW to anyone - there is a...
And FWIW, I have never studied Taijiquan, or with any Taiwanese teachers - I have done JMA only for some years now, and could not care less about your assessment of any CMA/teacher (or JMA for that...
Sorry Peter - but that just tells me you don't actually know what the word 'objective' means. Your assessment is in fact the opposite of objective.
There is only one 'verifiable' lineage? Like I...
