Kudos and Credits
-
To Diane and Meik Skoss for their excellent site devoted to the Koryu martial systems.
Several of the links in this site are to Koryu.com
articles, and I thank them for the research and general legwork they have done!
-
To the students of the White Oak Martial Arts Center and Oakland Aiki Kai, for their continued
harassment that keeps me on my toes (no, I do not buy into the adulation and "sensei worship"
crap that many martial arts instructors program into their students!).
-
To my partner, Steve, currently residing in Japan and training with Okabayashi Sensei.
In our early days of training in the aiki arts, I used to push and challenge Steve. The
past few years, he has done the reverse to me, in those times when I've had to juggle work,
family, and martial arts. (Revenge is sweet, huh, buddy?)
-
To Rod Ulher, my former aikido student (and now my sempai in Daito Ryu), for his
input on the original Hakuhô Kai web page that prompted these updates ( "...it looks
like a porno site..." ). Thanks, Rod! (I think... :-)
