OK!
Yes James Williams is in the exact same bunch when he pulls stunts like this so this does not make it any better and from my other post when I mean any Japanese teachers it does imply LEGIT...
How hard is this to understand? Why beat around the bush? When you do any classical Japanese martial art referred as Koryu. You simply dont show off or do junk like this and especially not on TV.
...
Well thank you for the precision but I did follow the rules and this is still baffling Budo. It has nothing to do with my opinion only. If you study Koryu and proclaim classical this and that as Mr....
Why move this thread from the baffling Budo up to the members lounge?
If it was any other guy out there showing off and cutting meat, fish etc... it would have stayed in the baffling section. So...
I do agree with on mostly. But James williams claims and presents himself as a Koryu/Classical martial arts teacher and likes to play with words to make it look as so.
So this means that because he was invited he needs to go and make a fool of himself by cutting pigs ad salmon and eggs to prove what ? Again your point does not make sense or does not even come close...
What is even more disturbing is the fact that all he talks about when on Video or Online is that he teaches classical martial arts and you will hear him on mutliple occasions saying that samurai used...
But then again you will get all his minions jumping in saying the following... But e is a great guy and very respected and knowledgable.
Based on what?
Most people the will take this stance...
What the heck does he think he is doing or what the heck is he trying to prove?
Just looks like a bad TV commercial for Ginsu knives.
Does he need to be on T.V that bad and demsontrate stupid...
Because this is just stupidly not logical to wear 3 blades in a obi.
They did not stop wearing the tanto but most people adopted this new fashion. You would still see many people prefering to wear the tanto for many reason.
As far as I am concerned initially transmission of Koryu was pretty solid in the west but now it's all about selling DVD's and Books seminars cutting up big targets over propagating and trying to be...
Well I have seen the Manji on numerous maps from before and after the war and also recent ones uisng the Manji to denote a Buddhsit temple.
I also saw some people wearing the manji as a kamon on...
What is your point in this at this time other than ganging up and saying what others have already said?
I do know for a fact that most Koryu teachers teaching as it should be would NOT participate...
In all honesty after viewing the videos all I can say is that it is exactly like Kendo with a different set of armor and a metal sword with a curve that’s all I saw. Their playing around was not so...
Ok sure I dont know what I am talking about.
I will let you go back to your fantasy play. And yes Real Koryu groups or schools would spit at this event and what it represents and would take not...
Why do you want to know? It is pretty obvious why most true Koryu people in Japan would find this stupid, pointless, dangerous and of a show of bravado clearly exposing bad taste.
I think you...
Kim and Max I do support your opinions and point of view. I just think that the whole thing is just plain stupid and will lead to the detriment of Japanese swords arts in general.
Anyway we...
ALSO PLEASE SIGN WITH ONLY YOUR OWN NAME!
STOP SIGNING FOR 2 PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME IT MAKES IT HARD TO KNOW WHO WE ARE DEALING WITH!:nono:
Sorry everyone for shouting
Sure sounds and looks like a cult to me. Humm then again it is a cult :)!
Well I have to say your post is very well written and that you have put lots of time defending what you believe is right. You have the right to do and practice what you want. We also have the right...
Here is what a credible teacher of Mugai Ryu in Japan thinks of Nami-Ryu
QUOTE(After dinner we can back to the house and watched the Nami-ryu DVD. Niina-gosoke was...amused. He figured all the...
I guess we can agree to disagree on this one.
The crowd I hang around with in Japan was basically of the ambivalent type and did not have much regards for people like The 47 Ronin or the...
I guess you are just not seeing my point in the way it was intended. So the thread drift alert is actually mostly YOUR contribution.
My intention was to show that Mr. Williams has a very...
