The information is too scarce to draw anything conclusive but as its been posted i'm assuming its open for comment? Seems odd something so personal for 23 years to be posted now, I wonder about the timing? It is interesting to note there is a difference of 8 months from the March 1984 Resignation date untill Tanemura 'found out' in November 1984. La Danza Del Cambio Senge Pdf here. That 'seems' odd to me. On 13th November a resignation letter was sent and oddly enough the Genbukan was born on 28th, i would argue much more foundation work was done than two weeks and one day. The Budo he has 'mastered' was from Hatsumi Sensei via Menkyo Kaiden not Takamatsu Sensei.

After only meeting Takamatsu Sensei on one afternoon whilst visiting with Hatsumi Sensei does not put him in a position to judge what is the 'true spirit and teachings of Takamatsu Sensei'. He was never a student and recieved no grading or training from Takamatsu Sensei other that the afternoon visit.(as far as i know) He might well have train with other students of Takamatsu Sensei after his passing but that like me training with Dan Inosanto after Bruce Lee had passed and then claiming some authority on the man's legacy. As far as i'm aware only one man was put in a postion to carry on these teachings. Hatsumi Sensei.

If any of the above is factually incorrect please let me know. But thats my view on the topic.

Personally sometimes people go through changes and also sometimes they need to break away to grow. For myself I wish Tanemura Sensei the best and hope that his Genbukan organization prospers. Yet I will continue to train in the Bujinkan and with Hatsumi Sensei because he is the rightful and true heir of the Takamatsu Lineage as appointed by Takamatsu himself. Does that make the Genbukan less of an organization or Tanemura Sensei less of an individual or martial artist in my opinion - no! Everyone needs to find their path and I wish the best for everyone.

Find your path and train and grow and enjoy what you do! 'I believe (and I may be wrong here, as none of us were there) but what actually happened was that the student in question was Mr Tanemuras boss in the police force.

His boss however was also a student of Mr Tanemura. Tanemuras boss gave Mr Tanemura a job which i believe was as a self defence instructor in the police force which took Mr Tanemura away from the streets. Although this sounds a very grandiose job it was as far as i am aware pretty much a desk bound job, and Mr Tanemura was not happy and in response Mr Tanemura stopped this student (His boss) training with him.

This man (Tanemuras ex student/boss) then went to Dr Hatsumi and Dr Hatsumi let him train with him. As Ben Cole says Quote: Given how Hatsumi-sensei is notoriously 'no touch' on pretty much anything in the Bujinkan, So then Mr Tanemura goes to the funeral and guess what theres his boss. Hense big argument, fisticuffs, bit of a scuffle whtever ensues.

Now Mr Tanemura has a job he doesn't like, a boss who is laughing at him, and a not too good relationship with Dr Hatsumi and the Shihan. Hense the birth of Genbukan, although I do believe that possibly as Ben Cole says the breakaway was planned to happen. Katsujinken also posted Quote: Regarding Tanemura Soke supposedly scaring Mrs. Tane Takamatsu, it would be of interest to you to read the letter of encouragement she sent Tanemura Soke regarding the writing of his book, Hiden Ninpo ('Ninpo Secrets'), p.

I highly doubt you have read the book or plan on doing so, but if you wish to read the letter portion in question, by all means let me know. I can be sure of this much, Mrs. Takamatsu wouldn't have gone out of her way to endorse Tanemura Soke's writing efforts if there wasn't real trust there. Thats right, and not only that but Mr Tanemura was raising funds for Mrs Tane for her hospital stays through producing a poem on Niniku Seishin that was sold to Genbukan students (I have a copy).

Mr Tanemura IIRC was also featured in Bufu magazine with Mr Tane in Hospital where she died. J Stevens Arms Company Serial Numbers. One can only hope that Dr Hatsumi was also helping his teachers wife during her last few years. Now back to the topic I believe sometimes people just need to grow and unfortunately that may entail moving to another place and beginning to teach.

More than anything I feel that is what went on here. I have seen Tanemura Sensei move and he is fabulous. Haal E Dil Movie Utorrent. It was probably his time to move on. He did it and that is that.

Personally I wish him the best and everyone in the Genbukan the best. I know several practitioners and they are great guy's and great practitioner's. The lineage is the same with slight variations which is the norm when people go their seperate ways. That is the beauty of the Takamatsuden arts in that there are several trees to take a look. For myself it is Bujinkan because my heart in Budo Taijutsu resides there.
