Muramatsu no jo?

[Yonshakujo]

Would anyone have anything to say about 'Muramatsu no jo', a sort of stepchild of Shindo Muso ryu jojutsu?

One or two peeps will rush to the above websites defense soon I think. Before that I should mention that this Muramatsu no jo lineage/history claim is... "unique"...to say the least.

Still waiting....

I have never heard of this.

Of course, I've only been practicing jo 2/wk in Tokyo for 6 years or so.

In fact, that's an interesting website - there is a lot of information but it's really not evident who owns the website. I looked pretty closely and can't find a dojo mentioned.

Sorry, it was pointed out to me that it should read 'Matsumura no jo'. Dyslexia and Japanese do not mix well.

I've asked a good half dozen senior instructors associated with the ZenKenRen, not one has ever heard of it, immediately everyone asks if I'm talking about Matsumura who has the dojo in Yoyogi. Next I'll ask outside it.

Kuroda-ha Nagoya area - looking at the site I dont know why I have it classified as that in my favourites (when I favourite things I tend to edit the titles with category tags).
