Any experiences about it? I know of history, but anyone have any real-life experience? What's it like? Effective or not?

I met several of their 5th~6th dan members at the annual Budo Seminar in Chiba, Japan. While they seemed like nice guys I wasnt not that impressed with their Karate .it seemed like what you could find in any JKA/JKF dojo in Japan.

Oh. I've read that their karate is full of acrobatics, didn't see anything like that? Gensei-ryu is supposedly a transition from old karate towards the founder's next art Taido, which is totally full of acrobatics. I have heard Gensei-ryu would be like karate with half the acrobatics found in Taido.

Also I've heard that they use hard contact with lot's of low kicking with the shin. I've been told that if it weren't for the acrobatics, people would usually mistake it for Kyokushinkai Karate as far as the low kicks with shin and overall hard contact was concerned.
I have no first hand experience and usually people haven't heard of the style when I ask about it.
