Re: Narita Shinjuro

Thanks, Marc, for the clarification. I've seen clips of Minoru Harai and can see the similarity between his maneuvers and Shinjuro's. Do you know, Marc, if Minoru had any training with Sokaku Takeda? Or did he obtain his skills from a completely different source?

I'm not convinced by what I've seen of Korindo Aikido that it doesn't suffer from the problems of uke's over-accommodation of nage that most Ueshiba-derived Aikido does. Has anyone had an opportunity to train with Narita Shinjuro or heard anything anecdotally about the efficacy of Korindo Aikido?

Jon.
