It would seem that you are correct. It was Ishii, Tsukahara Bokuden's nephew, who instituted the name change.

Unfortunately, I think the website has been taken down. It's been down for about a year or so now, IIRC.
To my knowledge, none of the other translators were Niten Ichi-ryu practitioners. Both Mr. Kim and Mr. Hyakutake are exponents of the martial tradition founded by Miyamoto Musashi. IMHO, that puts...
Do you know of any English language sources you can recommend that deal with any of this or with Taisha-ryu generally? This all sounds very interesting!
Many thanks.
Thanks. I knew I must be missing something. The second video was very helpful.
Did anyone else find the technique around 3:20 a bit... odd?
Certainly an interesting video.
Thank you, Mr. Hall.
I think Karsten has probably completed his thesis by now considering he started it seven years ago.;)
Interesting to know that there are a lot of makimono for sale on E-Bay, though. Wouldn't have...
Thanks for the info. I've got quite enough on my plate as it is! I was just curious because a few years back I had done some research on Itto-ryu in the U.S. and didn't turn up much.;)
Okay. That makes sense. I heard about the seminar in NJ with Sasamori Sensei. I thought you were talking about Itto-ryu branch dojos and the like.
Thanks!
Really?
I didn't know that. I don't suppose you have links?
Cheers,
My guess is that it's for balance.
The katana and odachi are from different periods.
As I understand it, the tachi and odachi were generally slightly longer (the odachi was much longer of course), more curved, and from an earlier...
As I understand it, swords were used on the battlefield only after the soldier had lost his spear, naginata, or other weapon. They were a secondary weapon. As for duels, they were a lot less common...
Very informative.
Thanks for the link!
But I might be wrong!
Perhaps Collin Hyakutake, a mod here at e-Budo and a practitioner of Miyamoto Musashi's Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu, might have something to say about this subject.
Yes.
I've read that he deliberately arrived late to certain duels to anger his opponent. Most notably, he used this tactic on Sasaki Kojiro at Ganryu Island.
Thanks!
If anyone has any info on when these ryuha were created or how they are currently practiced, I'd be interested. I noticed that the tsuba on the bokken of Muhi Muteki-ryu appear to be made...
I recently stumbled across some pictures of a kobudo demonstration and I noticed that there is quite a bit of overlap between members of these particular ryuha. Does anyone know if they are practiced...
I don't necessarily disagree. I was simply pointing out that the notion of "realistic sparring" is a contradiction in terms. As I said, sparring can never simulate the stress of real combat because...
I don't think such technology exists now and I would argue that no matter how much our technology develops the concept of "realistic equipment for sparring" is an oxymoron. Any kind of sparring,...
Interesting...
I can't speak about Fouzhou white crane but I can tell you that Uechi-ryu does contain a lot of crane forms, although it's Fukien White Crane in all likelihood.
The fact is, many...
Uechi-ryu founded by Uechi Kanbun. The art is still active.
When dealing with kata names that are shared across styles, it's important to understand where these kata names come from. There are many many kata called seisan and they are not all related...
Hahaha.
That'd be great!

I'm not sure if this is just a theoretical question about "what you would do if..." or if you're planning to go away for a month and train somewhere. If it's...
