I recently bought this book, and on the inside of the back cover it states that
Fumon Tanaka Sensei holds multiple titles, including Soke of several recognized Koryu
The list of his "titles and licenses" includes
Koden Enshin Ryu kumiuchi kenden 11th soke
Kukishin Ryu bujutsu 19th soke
Honmon ENshin Ryu iai suemonogiri kenpo 4th soke
this list also includes
KOGA RYU NINJUTSU
and
IGA RYU NINPO
Now, I thought Ninjutsu is not formally recognized? Who gave Fumon Tanaka an unbroken lineage in Koga Ryu ninjutsu and Iga Ryu Ninpo?
I was told that no claimed Ninjutsu lineage has any formal recognition, and none have been verified. So why is a recognized Koryu teacher claiming Iga Ryu and Koga Ryu Ninjutsu?
