Oguri Sensei Passed Away!

[Brian R. VanCise]

Sad news recently in the Bujinkan. Oguri Sensei passed away. I will copy here what I wrote on my blog:

I was saddened to hear that Bujinkan Shihan Oguri Sensei had passed away. While I only had some limited training with him I can say that it was exceptional. I remember how kind it was of him to correct me during Hombu training under Hatsumi Sensei. It was even more of a pleasure to have had the opportunity to train directly in his classes. He will always be remembered for his smile and kind heart and the martial arts world is definitely a sadder place without him.

Here is some recent video footage of him:

Had very limited training with him but I really enjoyed his class. I will never forget how he laughed as he knocked me down and I looked so confused.
