    Man-chains?

    I don't think I like the sound of that.

    Always laugh when you can. It is cheapest medicine.
    ...and it keeps the ravenous, man-eating squirrels off of you.

    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?

    I could say the 'a' is near the 'o' on my keyboard, but I'd be lying. 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.
