Aiki Lee

I see you are dan in Isshin Ryu. I study Sanchin Ryu. We are sister styles. My Chief Grand Master, Robert Dearman studied under a disciple of Tatsuo Shimabuku. One of my students also studied Isshin Ryu. I attended his class. I really enjoyed it. After I watched his class, we both showed each other our forms of Nai Hatchi.

I'll ask. Daito ryu has techniques from sumo, jujutsu, aikijutsu, aikijujutsu. It also has kenjutsu but kondo sensei does not really
Teach it as daito ryu curriculum is huge. I think takeda in stanley penn book spoke
Abound the principles of daito ryu. But I'll ask.

I don't know you. But I already like you. Anyone who calls themselves "Kenshin" has got to be a decent type of fellow, de gozara.

Yeah... there were a few reasons....

Congratulations Lee!!! Shugyo was fantastic - I had a great time, and so did my daughter (Ally). We are looking forward to more training with you and the others at the dojo. We are so glad we stayed to watch your test!

Hi Lee,

The first ones would be the ones I posted... honestly, it can get rather confusing at the best of times!

Top o' the mornin' to you! Hope all is well!

Yep, I changed my user name. I've been tired of the old one for quite awhile now. (^_^)

Congrats on the sandan! I'll have to go hunting for your videos. Life here has been busy! But can't complain. I have a job and I have students. Looking at taking iaido later this year at a local dojo.

Oh yes, still active. :) How have you been doing? Likewise, it was good to see you post on the 'fight' thread.

Hello...

I was curious as to whether you still train in Jizaikan Aiki-Ninjutsu. I ran across a thread where you talked about training in it. I'd like to ask a couple questions, if I may.

Gambatte....

I am in Asia now, I`ll be back　in America soon!

You just seemed to have an interesting combo of styles. I live about an hour north of columbus ohio.

Do you live in the states?

Good morning! Have a great weekend!
