Not the title but the introduction to Aikido in this book, where Tomiki sensei presents the official version of the Aikijujutsu lore and states that now Ueshiba sensei was the inheritour of the art....
Althought it kind of implies that Ueshiba OSensei was THE inheritour of the Aikijujutsu...in a very japanese fashion of telling without saying :D
Haven't posted anything here for sometime...simply because i have more to learn in here than to write :D
Well, there is no Kendo/Iaido sensei in my city, so i have to travel to SP(2hours fly from...
When you get to read it, keep in mind that the technical part is about a koryu style that you're likely to see only on youtube. It doesn't necessarily relates to Kendo, Ninjutsu or Aikiken.

"Frenn"? Are you from Salvador-Bahia and a former student of english teacher Mister John? Mr John was a White guy who enjoyed doing push-ups in the class to prove he was "still in shape"...:D
I...
But incidentally kind of. The photolog i posted(www.ittosai.vipflog.com.br) is MINE, not theirs. As the seminar in question (i was the fool who thought himself capable of teaching kenjutsu), in which...
Here is the photo of the participants on my pseudo-kenjutsu workshop(Panasonic ryu:)):

Jordan is the third from the right in the front roll
I know them. I`ve trained with them.
My first knowledge about Shidoshi Jordan Augusto was in 94 in a brazilian martial arts magazine in which he was presented as a master of Daito ryu. My father...
I appologize for my somewhat pedantic post...you are right in me being in dismissal of the kuden with the feeling of "everybody knows that's not possible". I kind of developed this bias after too...
Totally agree.
But since there is research being done, precisely to clarify this subject, my point is that much of the discussion is focused on finding ways to make our present understanding of...
Sorry, but i couldn`t resist to coment on this...
All attempts to make Hoshina/Saigo an jujutsu master, as well as to prove Takeda Sokaku claims of a "Takeda family art", seem to ignore one simple...
My turn to be humble :)
Ukemi has one BIG setback that might explain Takeda's and Ueshiba's behaviour about it:
1.You (as ukemi) GIVE an opening to the nage, which means you expose yourself to...
But the whole point of this discussion was: there is a point in standartizing weapons sizes on SMR?
The argument on MA sticks, no doubt about it, but to me, different people handling similar sized...
Liked that title :)
One thing that botters me is that sometimes we don't recall how it felt before we reached our present level of skill. Thankfully i have tapes of my gokyu test. :karatekid

The fact is that i really believe this to be another case of people trying to "hype" their style by using "obscure names", such as the "Kenjutsu MacDojo" that spread around Brazil in the last three...
Among other things he calls Kito ryu an form of Aikijujutsu and places catholic views in his Nintai ryu Aikijujutsu.
Before dismissing him as another fraud perpetuator (either being victim or con...
I have been busy working to get a scholarship, training and moderating a list, so i kept e-budo mostly for keeping in touch with the news and using the search engine :)
When are you coming to take...
In old books the name Aikijujutsu is seldom seen, even for Daito ryu (frequently called jujutsu instead), but recently it seems like new "ancient" styles are popping at every corner.
In an Orkut...
It's been said that there was an aikijujutsu (Daito ryu?) instructor in Brazil by the name Yoshimasa Nagashima.
So far i haven't been able to verify his existance.
Any information about him or...
I was talking about Watsuki's sakabattou (Rurounin Kenshin's manga), not Futsunomitama-no-tsurugi :)
But you are most likely right about your assumption on the reverse edge.
The inner blade is...
I believed that the reversed sword was a complete fantasy, creation of Nobuhiro Watsuki.
But if there is a real one, and more important, it is enshrined, maybe the Sakabattou has a poetycal...
Japanese are very liberal about historical precision in fiction(about as much as north americans in cowboy flicks).
You will see flying armours in Sekigahara battle and Oda Nobunaga being...
Since both antagonists have done duels with katana, i am very much sure that the final match will be with swords.
Even in comics Ras duels against Batman with sabers.
I am afraid of Batman...
There are two Shinto Ryu members with which i have contact.
One is Jorge Guimaraes who published some books on Iaido and, althought a very polite and a gentle person, sounds a bit too romantic on...
The reason why i posted this in "Sword Arts" is exactly because my main concern is about learning more about the subject and less about questioning any particular individual.
