I've been living and training in Japan for the last few years, and I've had the opportunity here to train in BJJ and Judo so perhaps my experience...

Kogusoku, could you suggest any books or sources for more information on the variations of Tanegashima matchlocks that the Japanese produced after...

I'd say yes. Its always a great learning experience to spar with someone of a much higher level. And as you say, it keeps everything 'honest'....
Sorry I had left this thread for so long, had slipped my mind. Thanks for the responses. @47MartialMan: That link you posted must be the same...
