Recently the Genbukan had one of the senior Shihan pass away. Jin Nagamoto Shihan, was a very kind and patient person and very loyal to Genbukan and Tanemura Sensei, he will be greatly missed. http://www.genbukan.org/cgi-bin/site.pl?332&ceNews_newsID=148
I remember I last saw him a little over a year and half ago in the honbu in Japan. He was greatly skilled in kyujutsu with the hankyu(bows and arrows, yumi/ya) and also both the bo and senban shuriken.......his always stuck and I was lucky mine didn't bounce back and hit someone , always tried to help though he did, show correct hand positioning, etc.
