Let me see if I get this right. There are several groups of people claiming to teach Koga ryu outside of Japan. Not one of them seems to be known to the guy that wrote this article http://www.jigokudojo.com/koga.htm or anyone else that we can confirm lives in Japan. For example, MAP member Steve Delany (not a Bujinkan member) used to live in Japan and has been silent about hearing of any of them. So either we are dealing with a huge conspiracy by everyone who has ever lived in Japan, or the entire group is a bunch of frauds that try to seem more legitimate by associating with other frauds. Which do you think is the more likely scenario?
I think it's a typo, it should have read "May the farce be with you". It's like a train wreck, I keep going back and reading. They cribbed Hatsumi and Takamatsu's Essence Of Ninutsu essays, anyone notice that? Or, that all the pictures are in India? But it says Tulsa Temple, USA on the home page?
I could barely contain myself enough to write this post after looking at that site, I've only just finished laughing, and the reason..... Ninja Headbands!!!!....That's what I'm talking about I think the website would be better if they played the 'Mortal Kombat' music when you accessed it.
Well it keeps us entertained. And the pages of pictures just killed me Anyone checked out the female ninja page. If you haven't, make sure you are sitting down when you do.
Berador, I just went over to the newly reopened Ashida Kim message board and noticed that you are a friend and supporter of what he says. http://p206.ezboard.com/fashidakimmessageboardsfrm2.showMessage?topicID=339.topic Do you realize how this looks to other people?
There was a thread on another board about how it had opened after a while down. Imagine my surprise to see someone who has not yet answered the questions posed here posting over there.
