I found myself fascinated by this Nihon-centric view of martial arts. It brings flashbacks to my time over 3 decades ago with my Japanese martial arts teacher. Anyhow, it's refreshing to see the persistence in perspective in spite of the faddish swings of interest and ideology elsewhere.

Thanks for the link, Jim. Or maybe not... I'm probably going to have to buy the darned thing. It's your fault!

Why can't they make a lineage chart that makes sense?

On the other hand Bill, by hooking you up with the link for Budo I saved you from viewing the trailer and running out and buying the DVD!!
