Hi Ohana,
I come from this lineage, although a branch from the early 80s and we retain GM Bianchi's curriculum from the late 70s-very early 80s This curriculum is largely hard style with some Siu Lim Kung Fu and Kosho Ryu influence(I believe both GGM Halbuna and GM Bianchi were learning from Hanshi Thomas Mitose's line). In the later black belt ranks there is a Pakua form I believe. My sigung told me as time went by GM Bianchi started teaching more of the Halbuna method (I guess when GM Bianchi trained with GGM Halbuna the curriculum was still largely Emperado hard style from white to shodan ) but idk what that looks like or means. My Sigung is unsure of his current curriculum.
Are there any students of GM Bianchi around who can shed any light on the matter? I only ask because his other black belts would be our closest relatives on the tree.
