I have found Yamantaka's list of high ranked non-Japanese Yudansha extremely informative. All of the names were completely unknown to me except Thamby Raja Sensei. I have often heard members here refer to their shihan or note seminar with a visiting shihan and I have heard names like Saotome sensei and Chiba sensei. Would anyone have a list of Japanese shihan, which styles and where they have their dojo's? Or would know of any such list on the web? I am thinking that for people who wish to travel and take the opportunity of training with top shihan while on their holidays, it would be a valuable resource.
Many thanks
