Sorry to be pedantic, but it's "Gruzanski", and not "Grazanski". His son went to Japan a number of years ago to visit his father's Masaki-ryu teacher, Nawa Yumio, who is now an octagenarian.

Sorry to be pedantic, but isn't it octogenarian?

Herb,

Why don't you actually train in a dojo and not just buy books/DVDs to learn from?

Any reason why you didn't answer my last question on page 2 of this thread (http://www.kendo-world.com/forum/showthread.php?p=267687)?

I could say the 'a' is near the 'o' on my keyboard, but I'd be lying. :smoker: Kakari geiko!

Either way, Masaki-ryu is a koryu that teaches several weapons disciplines, including Manrikigusari, kusarigama, juttejutsu, hojojutsu, shurikenjutsu and if I remember correctly, some form of kenjutsu training too.
