Hi Guys, this is my first post in this section of the board. I have recently started training in Daito Ryu Aiki-JuJutsu after a few years of trying to learn Wado Ryu Karate. My Sensei in Daito refers to it as a “Koryu” but is this correct? According to the oracle of all knowledge (Wiki) its codification was completed after the Meiji restoration. Anyone go any views on this?
Here's an interesting read: http://www.aikidojournal.com/article?articleID=434 What sensei are you training Daito Ryu under and are they affiliated with the hombu dojo?
Thanks for that slipthejap, I will have a good read in the morning. I train with these guys: www.hakuho.co.uk I have to say, a great bunch of guys who really seem to know their stuff. Regards Gary
As far as I know historians can only track the history back to Takeda aikijujutsu with any certainty. Kogusoku will be able to enlighten you. Slip the JAP? I like it!! regards koyo
