Stanley Pranin interviewed Ryuho Okayama, Hakko Ryu's Nidai Soke in 2003. It's a short interview with only a paragraph on Doshin So's involvement in Hakko Ryu, but is probably as close as you'll get...
This looks like a very likely avenue to explore. There's even a reference to Dusty's Judo Resume posted in 2013!

Lloyd's a good guy and affiliated with the Hakko Ryu so if you're close to Ipswich he's well worth training with. Elsewhere in the country there's a few clubs derived from Hakko Ryu, but no longer...
One of my nastiest martial arts memories was a dojo which specialised in karate. After an accident in a competition they decided to permanently mat the hall with vinyl covered judo mats. They then...
It sounds like you may have the weapons class solved, but if you're still looking for a jujutsu alternative, and Ipswich is within range, there's quite a bit of Hakko Ryu derived jujutsu there,...
I'd got that wrong: I thought the larks foot was so that the sageo was still attached should the kurigata break. Too much rock climbing influencing my thinking.
I'll bite - I haven't seen that before, why do you do it that way?
I'm not involved in this in any way, but the more academically minded may be interested: http://www.martialartsstudies.org/
Another cultural double-take. Pants over here are an undergarment. At which point I started worrying about what I was reading!
I think we've got a huge cultural issue here and that's giving the context difference that Hissho alludes to: Itten, according to his profile, is in Holland. Hissho and TonyU are both US based and...
Your comments on the 'kun' honorific have resolved a twenty year old confusion for me! I spent six months seconded to a large Japanese company just outside Yokosuka and thought I got on well there...
Just dealing with English native speakers I find they have trouble with words like break-falls: it's quite a specialised terminology. Perhaps step back a bit and explain that it's a grappling...
Whilst acknowledging the fact it's an undergraduate survey, so short on resources, a lot of the questions seemed to be of the nature of "have you stopped beating your wife?". I'm not a great goal...
I think you've got the title wrong: Angry White Pyjamas is Robert Twigger's account of his aikido training in Tokyo. Though some aikidoka might agree with your description of it as a novel....
I'd recommend at least visiting a Hakko Denshin Ryu class. I've never trained with LaMonica, but do train in another Hakko Ryu offshoot. We are not koryu but I think fall in to a "koryu-esque"...
I think you're on the verge of something there. I too run an "elite" club. There's usually somewhere around half a dozen of us, all being elite by virtue of venturing out to the wilds of...
I'm assuming that these are drills based around the presence of an armed threat. Are they common in US high schools or is this something specific to your school? I'm asking in pure curiosity...
It's probably in the fine print of the rules somewhere but why was Mammadli's throw given as ippon? I always thought you had to be thrown clean on to your back and Wang Kichun seems to manage a...
Mostly demo fodder in my opinion, but there's some fun stuff in there. When you break the Hakkoryu yonindori (four person attack) down, there's a couple of techniques from the shodangi in there,...

Looks like the sale of all curved blades longer than 50 cm is to be banned in England and Wales from...
The problem I've got is mostly abrasion of the edge of the mat - probably where some lazy so-and-so has dragged it back to the stack. I got the mats second hand and at a good price so can't (well,...
Deep joy - our village hall has just had a fire safety inspection. My pile of judo mats has been identified as a potential fire hazard, along with the children's playgroup plastic toys. I've got to...
Looks like there's a chance for the UK guys to see Kohno Akikazu Sensei in the flesh - he's teaching a seminar in Bedford: http://www.bedfordjujutsu.co.uk/seminar.htm
I'm off to Athens in a couple of weeks for the seminar there. It will be interesting (for some meaning of the word) to see how much I've regressed. There will be some last minute revision at the...
OK, now that does look like yondan to me.
