New to To-Shin Do

[Muawijhe]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to Martial Talk and to To-Shin Do. I just started taking lessons about a month ago at the Quest Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was wondering if there was anyone here who also trained there.

And, being new to To-Shin Do, I was wondering if any current students had any favorite stories, or things they learned, from the art that they'd like to share.

Thanks all, and I look forward to having some cool conversations about the art!

Welcome! I'm new, too, to both the site and the Jinenkan.

You might find other interesting conversation in the two other Ninjutsu forums -

Ninjutsu - General Discussion

Ninjutsu - Traditional Ryu Discussion

Thanks for the links! I'll check them out if I haven't already.

I've been trolling the forums here for quite some time, and I like a lot of the conversations. But I know that martial arts are like religions, and it's often difficult (especially over the internet) to have conversations without them turning heated.

For now, I think I'll stick to the To-Shin Do and Judo/Jujutsu forums for posting, as they're what I know. I'll keep on reading the other threads, however. =)

I think you'll find the conversations are pretty calm, and the swords stay in the saya. There's a lot of info to be found there. Chris Parker, for one, is quite a history book.

Yeah, I've learned a lot from reading through those posts. If something interests me, I'll post there, no worries. I just know that in all my years in the martial arts, and studying them from a hobby perspective as well, is that I'm still just left with my opinions, and those are mostly best shared over coffee or beer. =)

And I agree from what I've read of Mr. Parker's posts; he is quite well learned and versed in the martial arts.

Thanks again for the kind words.
