Hi Kamal,
I have a copy of that book. It does not contain any koryu, Nihonden or Sousuishi-ryu techniques.
In my opinion it doesn't contain much Nihon Jujutsu either, more like goshin-jutsu...
Hi all,
If there was a one-stop-shop for martial arts dojo/kwoon/dojang services and specialty supplies, what kind of services would you like to see provided? E.g. Graphic design and imaging,...

Hello Tom,
The name "Seisan" is the Okinawan pronunciation of the two kanji for the number 13, or jusan in Japanese. When written with kanji it is usually suffixed with the kanji for "te" but this...
Hi all,
drosera99, all the seisan kata I have seen look the same with only minor variances across the traditions. Goju-ryu, Shorin-ryu, Shito-ryu, Chito-ryu, Wado-ryu and even Shotokan (Hangetsu)...
Hey all,

Mr R. Smith 4th Dan, ran a branch of Takenuchi Hangan...

Hello Joe,
Thanks again. I should have initially framed my question around forensic findings, eg. defensive wounds and malicious wounds (assault with a weapon?) and fatal wounds. I found some of...
Hey Joe,
Thanks for the details. I knew you'd come to the rescue. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Hi All,
