What helped change your mind?<br /><br />I wonder if de Jong actually made this link between tsutsumi hozan ryu and tsutsumi masao himself if if other would be historians did it for him?<br /><br />I agree - the notion that the ryuso of tsutsumi hozan ryu left takenouchi ryu to persue a certain modern method of training for his students is rediculous and shows a lack of understaning of koryu jujutsu.<br /><br />There is one important note to raise here, that of transperancy - if some teahcers still claim to teach tsutsumi hozan ryu, people are being mislead. Real koryu jujutsu is a cultural asset and the few teachers in Australia whom are quallified to teach it would have spent a long time persuing this knowledge.Paul Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412637930552211810noreply@blogger.com
