Thank you for the resource.
Stop by my blog!
I took my version from an ancient kanji dictionary. I can't say for certain but I have some guesses to account for variation
1. The old style was before there was standardization. As made...
It is the seal script version, or the ancient version. In Japanese the style is called Tensho. Seal script is an ancient style of Chinese calligraphy. It evolved during the Zhōu dynasty.
Thanks George, I appreciate the late night help you gave.

I bumped into this thread , and I was shocked at how incomplete my knowledge of the areas aiki community last year. So I started this list.
Still in the works, but here is the new guide

I hate to split hairs on this statement, but "Tomiki's original Aikido" has some interesting connotations to it.
Unless it is Tomiki Sensei himself on the tapes, everyone else is doing their...

Before I go on....I would like to point out that Mr Deluna and I attended the same Daito Ryu dojo in Japan. So even from students of the same teacher you are going to get a different perspective. ...
Hello friend,
I happen to be a low level instructor in both of these arts. My advice, don't get hung up in style names or people's preconceived notions about what these arts should be. The...

Hello Friends,
I started training in the martial arts in 1986. Besides my teacher, I never saw any high ranked artists doing their art.
In the 1990s I traveled a lot, going to different...
Really you tube is becoming an amazing - free source of information. It is a slow treasure hunt though.

I never found any of the feudal secrecy in Japan or in Daito Ryu.
