I've just returned from Japan, and have determined that it would be best all around to cancel this seminar. While Sasamori Soke is currently in good health, I've become aware of health concerns with...
Hi folks,
Just wanted to make sure those interested are aware Sasamori Takemi Soke, the current headmaster of Ono-ha itto-ryu, is scheduled to visit Los Angeles California with (2) other senior...
Our dojo has scheduled an American open-seminar this September 19th & 20th, 2015 (Saturday and Sunday) with Sasamori Takemi Soke, the 17th Headmaster of Ono-ha itto-ryu. The seminar is open to anyone...
We observed a moment of silence yesterday at the beginning of a seminar I attended. We were all sorry to hear of Okamoto Sensei's passing. His students and family remain in our thoughts.
We are re-matting our dojo, and looking to sell these mats locally (Southern California), ideally as a whole set. They are all used, light green colored, Swain or Zebra (don't remember which company,...
Carina and Chris,
Thank you for your support. I appreciate it.
While I'm hoping to focus my free time catching up on my own notes and research, I don't plan to move into a cave just yet! I'm...
Peter,
Thanks much for your posting, it was big of you to do so. No hard feelings.
Oisin, thanks for the kind words. Hopefully we'll run into each other one of these days and we can talk shop...
Mina-sama,
I've decided to opt-out of moderating here at e-budo. It's been an interesting 8 years for this forum, and I know I've learned a few things, but I think it's time to let someone else...

Chris,
Thanks for the clarification.
I don't know what Cliff meant or didn't mean, but it is the collection of principles, tactics, etc. and the method in which they are applied that makes...
Chris, I don't study from a "splinter line" of Daito-ryu - unless you consider ALL lines of Daito-ryu "splinter lines". Either way, if you could find ways of making your points without involving me...
Fair enough. I realize that wearing hard armor is not comfortable and limits options. But it seems like some new technology is around the corner and I'm afraid I'm going to invest $1,500 into stuff...
Hi Kit,
It's getting crazy, huh?
Among other things, I see many Departments and officers are getting more into hard plate armor (Level III / IV to protect against rifle rounds) to be deployed...

Hi Reg,
Takeda Sokaku was known to secretly carry an unmounted tanto blade, with the blade wrapped in rice paper, inside the wraps of his haramaki (cloth stomach wrap). The blade could be easily...

O.K., yeah I just wanted to make sure I understood correctly that "heqi" was a recent Chineesification of "aiki" for whatever reason. However, if "aiki" exists in CIMA, then isn't there a...
