    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!

    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!

    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.
