Based on the don't be afraid thread I thought I would start a thread on the Genbukan training methodology so that we can all get a better understanding of this X-Kan. While the Genbukan is a derivative of the Bujinkan and a descendant of Budo Taijutsu there are clear differances in how Soke Shoto Tanemura teaches as compared to Hatsumi Soke. Hopefully some of our Genbukan members can shed some light on their training. (or some new members will come on and tell us about their training as well)
Here are just some pages that have video links of Genbukan training that I was able to find.
Soke Shoto Tanemura's website
http://www.genbukan.org/cgi-bin/site.pl?genbukan_techniques
Richard Roy's Tokyo based dojo and website
http://www.ninpo.org/ninpotechniques/ninpotechniques.html
The USA's leading exponent Kyoshi Michael Coleman's website
http://www.futendojo.com/
Our own Richard Ray's website
http://www.genbukan-ninpo.com/
Here are some more video clips
Hopefully we can start from this base and work outwards learning more about the Genbukan.
Let us not critique but appreciate that these video clips are available to us.
