    So I am starting to see these types of comments onyou tube now commenting on Bujinkan and Genbukan clips and having clips of their own from a group called Shinobi Soldiers and some of their followers. I also see the owner is somehow tied to the bujinkan in Amatsu Tatara. Anyone else seen these ideas of Shinobi Soldiers. I think its nothing new or nothing we have not heard before already.

    I can't really comment on his specific historical references as I've not read the Shoninki, Gunpo, or the Bansenshukai, but overall I would pretty much agree with alot of what he says about MA training. Although the religious attachment to "slow-mo training is the super best" I find grating.

    Having said that, the videos on his page of actual training just look like poor jujutsu. FWIW I think he should probably do a little more training and a little less intellectualizing.(Me too:cool:)

    I'm not a big fan of his attitude toward MMA, even if I may for the most part agree with his assertion as to the reason that TMA doesn't exactly translate to that medium. If more TMA people trained with the seriousness and dedication that you see from those training for competition, this debate about the superior effectiveness of either approach would be non-existent. There seems to be something about TMA that leads people to do alot more intellectualizing/philosophizing rather than spend their time on honest to goodness hard work.

    Didn't we do this guy a while back? IIRC, he had no time living in Japan or any test by the Japanese government on his Japanese ability but he was claiming to translate the Shoninki.

    His conclusions and such are rather silly in places IMO. His skill level is also pretty low as well. Didn't this guy basically just used to show up to Bujinkan classes and watch instead of train? It shows.

    Well, if he is the guy doing the Shoniki, I think I will start making my translation available to Bujinkan folks. More on this later.

    Bingo, yeah Don,I was thinking the same thing about how he views things,I think he is somehow connected to Artenor and Creationsofmyown who are trolling bujinkan and genbukan you tube video clips but won't bring their opinions to real forums for discussion. Look here

    He tried very hard to sell his novel to Bujinkan people, bigging up his association with Soke at the time

    I think he just needs a little more attention in his life and in my view he needs to train more before selling his stuff

    Here's the email he sent to Buj instructors:


    Hi I am the author of a new book on martial arts (and DVD Coming Soon), Called

    To Stand on a Stone

    I spent a few years in Japan training under Hatsumi sensei and this book is a result of that,

    This book crosses the boundaries of style on concentrates on the body dynamics of martial arts. I was hoping that you would have a look at my web-link and have a read of the test chapter and tell me what you think?

    Read it here:

    I hope you like the test chapter and if you are a teacher or part of a group please forward this to your fellow members. I would like to know what they think.

    Shoniki's available in French.... it's a pretty good read, but nothing really like a densho.

    He bombarded me with emails asking me to advertise his novel in Hanako newsletter. By chance I found him on youtube (as well as having a dozen or more emails about him on YT).

    Once I saw his YT posts i decided not to bother with him

    Is it a good translation? If so, I might want to give it a read.

    Do you get the impression that this is a person that is dedicated to anything but hearing himself sound wise?

    If his Japanese is anything like his taijutsu, I'd wait for Don's version.

    Well, the first installment should go out on the first of next month. I am going to make a little newsletter for my club, electronic version. I will put in a section on the shoninki every month with commentary and the explanations of the background you need to understand what really is going on. You know, kind of like when you read something like Shakespeare and have all the notes and such.
