Me either, I have also trained with 2 or 3 teachers who I know are above godan but I have no clue what rank they really are, because they don't talk about it. I guess I could have asked, but I didn't think it was important, their movement spoke for itself.rutherford said:You know, I've never seen Sean Askew mention his rank, and Dale has some funny statements about Soke just throwing ceritificates across the ocean at him.
HAHAHAHA! I couldn't agree more! :rofl:Dale Seago said:The ones to keep your eyes on are the ones who never wear their Electric Persimmon uniform patch on their gi jacket.
I didnt know this. Is it only if you are to represent Bujinkan?Have I missed something or is it true that no Bujinkan member is allowed to participate in shootfighting tournaments without Hatsumi's personal consent?
Nimravus said:However, I went to watch a freestyle martial arts tournament focused on sanshou/kickboxing and stand-up fighting just last weekend in which a relatively new Bujinkan member represented his own dojo (wearing a long-sleeved grappling tshirt, no less). I highly doubt he went to Japan to ask for permission beforehand.
