Hi Will - welcome to the forum.

I didn't realize there were more than one. The style I am referring to is found at www.shoshinryu.org .

Now that I know there are more than one, I did a quick Google search and it is NOT the style affiliated with DANZAN RYU JUJITSU.

Hope that helps. I see by your profile you study Shoshin Ryu. Which system are you affiliated with?

Thanks.

Hi,

I train in the Shoshin Ryu found at the website you posted. Our parent arts are Kokondo Karate and Jukido Jujutsu, although we have evolved a long way from them and now bear only a superficial resemblance. More recent influences have come from many sources, if you want more info PM (or e-mail) me. There are a couple of good dojo in the CT area, if you are interested I know you would be welcome to watch/train.
