PUBLISHERS MESSAGEKind regards to all Martial Science readers. Today I want to share a fragment published in the introduc-tion of my last book under the following headline:

The Great Book of Rensoku Waza of the ShinKaiDo Ryu

It has been a piece of work that points out the con-tinuity of several generations and sets up a striking connection between our ancestors and the present generations. I hope it would be pleasing to you.

By the 1990s I was a young martial artist, by that time, Taekwondo was my grea-test passion. I won many combats in consecutive championships because of my high quality perfor-mance during the compe-

titions. Although I moved through different Dojos, I

always returned to my primary martial arts school with my pri-

me Sensei Eduardo Nordelo. He holds the degree of Ba-

chelor in Sports and Phy-sical Education.

Each Dojo and each master has an outstanding prac-

titioner, who repres ents

him, for S e n s e i Eduar-

do Nor-delo, I had that

rank; it was like the Ushidenshi (intern student). My master previewed the continuity of his tea-chings on me; so, he trained me not only on the techniques, but also the necessary pedagogical and didactic tools for teaching martial arts.

Once, I watched him writing on large folders which were full of columns and numbers; such at-titude deeply called my attention, but I considered him so much that I never asked him about it. In another occasion, he commanded me to find some documents from his personal wardrobe, and I saw some folders with those odd numbers once again; judging by the papers appearance and odor, they were very old.

I was so curious about it that once, as he was painting a mural for the Dojo; in a very keen way I asked Master Eduardo:Master, how about the numbers, what are they, what do they mean?

Without a denial, he explained it all to me.

1-1-1 2-1-1 3-1-1 4-1-1 5-1-1 6-1-11-1-2 2-1-2 3-1-2 4-1-2 5-1-2 6-1-21-1-3 2-1-3 3-1-3 4-1-3 5-1-3 6-1-31-1-4 2-1-4 3-1-4 4-1-4 5-1-4 6-1-41-1-5 2-1-5 3-1-5 4-1-5 5-1-5 6-1-51-1-6 2-1-6 3-1-6 4-1-6 5-1-6 6-1-6

Each number was the key a given technical move-ment, thus:

1- Stands for Mae Geri,2- Stands for Kinteki Geri,3- Stands for Yoko Geri,

4- Stands for Kasumi Geri,5- Stands for Mawashi Geri,6- Stands for Ushiro Geri.

If we happen to randomly select a combina-tion from the table above, the outcome in a combat

JUNE/2014 7

or training would be as follows: Kinteki Geri - Mae Geri - Ushiro Geri.

There was so much to be done and there were many ways to move the numbers and leave them fixed, that I became addicted; I started to help my mas-ter to make innumerable sheets with different keys and even letters to differentiate the blocking tech-niques.

The main advantages of this were that it made ea-sier to combine the techniques without writing the long names of martial arts, on the other hand; the-re could be a secret code between the master and the practitioner so that none one else could un-derstand their talking, besides it was very useful in combats. Another advantage was that for the first time it was possible to mathematically observe the endless character of martial arts.

The addiction for obtaining as many combinations as possible obliged me to deepen on mathematics; there I found the concepts of the combinations and exchange within it to achieve the objective I was looking for (2, 3 and 4 technical elements in a se-quence, since a greater number would bring larger outcomes), the multiplication principle and the for mula were of a great help.

Twenty-two years later and after profound changes in my personal and professional life as a martial artist, I have decided to publish all my studies, to show the results gather after many years of patient work, steadiness, dedication and love. This book is part of the work my master began, I continued and my students will go on with.

There are not too many photos, drawings or ex-planations on this book if compared to others on the genus. However, its pages hold the necessary knowledge, which would make possible to wri-te hundreds of business books. Its inside is full of thousands of technical combinations of the ShinKaiDo Ryu, which will undoubtedly serve the objectives of all kind of martial arts, since the tech-niques are practically the same in all systems.

Finally, I leave you this humble piece of work in mind. It symbolizes the continuity of the studies of another generation. Practitioners and masters will surely find the benefits of the guide I propose today.

ART CAMACHOthe master of the action scenesFotos cortesa del Sr. Art CamachoEntrevista y Correccin: Henry Binerfa

JUNE/2014 15

I started to train karate when I was 13th, it did not last long. I was a kid, so to speak more than fat I hated everything related to sports. So, to practice sports was temporally for me. I used to practice for at least three months, and then I stopped it. It went like this until I was 16. At this age, I started to train hard and two things happened; first, some gangsters beat me and left me tear to pieces. I still remember the odor and hotness of my blood shed on my face, doctors made 11 sewing stitch to close up the wounds; second, the first movie of BRUCE LEE that I watched, it turned my inspiration.

I still remembered the time I was sitting at the movies watching Bruce Lee for the first time. Though he was dead already, his films were still premiere. When I got off the movies, I was so impressed that Bruce Lees magic made me vibrate of emotion.

All Beginnings Are Difficult. Art WAs not An exceptionhe counts on his experience With his oWn WorDs.

...thAt Bruce lees MAgic MADe Me ViBrAte of eMotion.

16

Those two events motivate me to start training. I have trained under several systems, such as: Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kali, Jeet Kune Do, and Boxing, lately, I trained with Grand Master Eric Lee in Wun Hop Kuen Do. Sifu Eric Lee has not only been my sifu, but my friend and mentor in the choreographies of combats. My first work performance of combats was in Hollywood, it was a movie that my sifu Eric Lee choreographed the name Ring of Fired.

I have trained with many grand masters from time to time, they have all influenced on me. Hence, even when I am performing a movie, I am learning from them. Recently, Grand master Samuel Kwok started to tech me of art of Wing Chun. To learn from him is a great honor to me. I still consider myself a White Belt and do not want to be disrespectful to all these Grand masters who have taught me a lot.

entering to MoVie MAking

I started to work as a walker-on in a publicity agency in Spanish before I turned a movie star. I began cleaning toilets, and in less than a year I was acting, producing and writing commercials for television in Spanish to my dear mentor Mr. Aaron Berger.

I did not know how to enter into movies, so, I did some extra work for about nine months to get some experience about the job. At the same time, I attended auditions for a role form movie making. I was very lucky to get a role as a co-star in the movie Connexion in Chinatown, by this time my sifu Eric lee was a movie choreographer and called me to be kicked in one of them, I took advantage of

this chance to enter.

I am natural and enjoy it. There were some other small roles and more stunts in movie, then I was asked to become the choreographer of nearly twenty combat movies and I jumped on all two feet. My expertise directing commercials helped a lot, since I usually watch the combat on the screen from a cinematographic angle.

WhAt is Your fAVorite choreogrAphY?

I have choreographed more than 300 combats for film making; most of them are good enough. None of them is my favorite, but some are highlighted by some elements. For instance, in Half Past Dead, we decided to perform the Hong Kong style. I worked with a Chinese choreographer named Xin Xin Xiong, we created scenes using cables Chinese like style combined with the Aikido of Steven Seagal. In The Secuela con Bill Goldber, we went for harder combats under the American style. In films with Don Wilson we used Street style combined with kickboxing.

JUNE/2014 17

suggestions for choreogrAphers

A great combat on the screen depends more upon rhyme, music and dance than upon the combat itself. You are not fighting but you create the illu-sion of fighting through body expres-sion and emotions. To create a great fight on the screen, some of the most important tips are to understand the effects and function of the camera, the corporal movement, the emotions of the character, and of course the ba-sic abilities of the combat or martial art. It is basically a dance of deadly combat. - Art Camacho

AnD Mentor in the choreogrAphies of coMBAts.

In my first movie as a director, I actually wanted to tell a story on each combat as the performer grew more and more in his physical abilities and turned emotionally mature. I have choreographed and worked with Don Wilson more than with any other martial art master and have also directed him in four films, it has made the work enjoyable for we are great friends, too. One of my prime movies with Don Wilson was Ring of Fire II. This movie was a great amusement, it turn our homage to Bruce Lee.

Working With steAVen seAgAl

I was a great admirer of Steven Seagal before I worked with him and it was an honor and a pleasure to have had the chance to coordinate the action on Half Past Dead. He is a master in martial arts, an expert in Aikido and to work with him was undoubtedly a great experience. When we were to perform the action Iasked him in what direction he wanted the opponent to enter and been a master of Aikido, Steven Seagal offered a set of various techniques until he spotted the one that best fitted the situation. I have learned a lot from him. Steven Seagal is a very intense and talented person which he proves on his movies.

...steVen seAgAl offereD A set of VArious techniques until he spotteD the one thAt Best fitteD the situAtion.

Where cAn the Art of stunt fighting Be leArneD?As far as I know, there are not schools for Stuntfighting in particular, but there are rooms for training the stunts or acrobatics all across the country. Three years ago I used to teach stuntfighting while working on a project for Warner Bros. I worked on a two floor building, there was an office downstairs and upstairs there was the Dojo. I used to work daily and taught the lessons on stuntfighting at nights. Many of my students have had great success in films like: GI Joe, Avengers, Iron Man, etc.

I still teach seminars on Stuntfighting when I a not making a film, I taught one in Chiuhahua Mexico another in Tijuana Mxico and some

here in the United States. Those seminars are mainly about

specific aspects of fighting for movies. As I have directed commercials, musical videos, TV and feature films, I have a different perspective from the stuntfighting. I dont do this as a martial artist, but as someone

w h o sits at a theater and knows nothing

about martial arts.

Most people think that the dramatic

feeling, emotion and narration

of a story with kicks and punches is fighting, but

actually it is not.

neW projects

Currently I am involved in the pre-production phase of a movie entitled Final Payback 2; it is the continuity of a film I recorded some years ago. We are getting into a new trend inspired in the movie The Mechanic with Jason Statham and also in the unfold of two vampire movies with Latin stem named The crossing, the other comes from a movie I made about twenty years ago entitled To Be he Best.

I am the co-writer and co-director in both films, besides; I have been hired to direct other two films. At present, I am teaching seminars on fighting the stunts, always looking for new talents. I have just met a very talented person named Ana Carolina De Fonseca, she a model and an actress, and we discuss about the possibility to develop an action movie.

finAls tips

The most important thing is to be passio-nate about this job and at the same time, see it as a business. Learn as much as you can, wherever you can about your art, be it performing, stunts or in direction. Second-ly, switch on with as many people as you can on this business and let yourself to be seen by them. Thirdly, make cortos, if you are an actor: act, if you are a director: di-rect. It does not matter how small or big the project is, just do it! Give the best of you in every project. I have been fortunate in career, even when it has been hard. No one gave a chance, so I made my own chan-ces. Even now, I have started many studies on film making and I still have to fight for each movie.

If you are a Latin person it turns more di-fficult, since no one see Latin men as cho-reographers or stuntmen, they prefer to hire Asians or Philippians, to perform Latin roles. Besides, many Latin men dont allow other Latin on their business once they have succeeded, and then you have to fight and believe in your talents. Never accept a No as a response and be ready for many. I believe we are not all destine to win, but I am pretty sure we are not destine to lose either, so, go and fight with all your heart, if you happen to win, change the cycle of selfishness on behalf of others.

Thank you very much, it was a great honor! Seminar of Art Camacho in Vegas, Nevada. Gym of Muay Thai Master Airr Phantthip.

In a time long past, there was an old monk who, through diligent practice, had attained a certain degree of spiritual penetration.

He had a young novice who was about eight years old. One day the monk looked at the boys face and saw there that he would die within the next few months. Saddened by this, he told the boy to take a long holiday and go and visit his parents. Take your time, said the monk. Dont hurry back. For he felt the boy should be with his family when he died. Three months later, to his astonishment, the monk saw the boy walking back up the mountain. When he arrived he looked intently at his face and saw that they boy would now live to a ripe old age. Tell me everything that happened while you were away, said the monk. So the boy started to tell of his journey down from the mountain. He told of villages and towns he passed through, of rivers forded and mountains climbed. Then he told how one day he came upon a stream in flood. He noticed, as he tried to pick his way across the flowing stream, that a colony of ants had become trapped on a small island formed by the flooding stream. Moved by compassion for these poor creatures, he took a branch of a tree and laid it across one flow of the stream until it touched the little island. As the ants made their way across, the boy held the branch steady, until he was sure all the ants had escaped to dry land. Then he went on his way. So, thought the old monk to himself, that is why the gods have lengthened his days.

Compassionate acts can alter your fate. Conversely, acts of viciousness can adversely affect your fate.

Gratitude for Bruce Lee

What does a lifetime of training for a serious martial artist entail? Lets start by examining some of the major phases that span cradle to grave deve-lopment for a student of an existing art:

(1) Basics (usually confirmed when the black belt is awarded)

(2) Serious training expanding knowledge and depth

(3) Mastery and Creativity

(4) Leadership and Inspiration of the Next Generation

(5) Contribution and Refinement of the Art itself. Some people turn pro while still in stage 2 or, at the latest, stage 3, either competing professionally (if applicable) or opening schools within an exis-ting larger organization. However, they are merely operating under someone elses business paradigm,

sometimes sadly falling into the trap of allowing the material success to bolster their egos, and are, in reality, incomplete in their development. Only a rare few of these practitioners, under the guidance of their teachers, remain serious and humble enou-gh to go beyond this stage. Those martial artists who continue pursuing their development are well beyond their competing years by the time they get to stage 4, and establish an international teaching reputation over decades by the time they are in stage 5. Even a fully developed and mature martial arts master absolutely reveres the ones who CREATE a great martial art.

In fact, they always revere their teachers, which is why they were able to continue their development, recognizing that without their teachers they would never have achieved anything. Consider the genius of Funakoshi, Ueshiba, Kano, and the countless an-cient and modern masters throughout the world who broke new ground and established entire mar-tial arts systems and organizations. The most no-table modern achievements in this area have been indisputably recognized in the person of Bruce Lee, who raced through the 5 stages in his short lifeti-me, burst through international boundaries of cul-ture, race, and business, and explosively CREATED a new martial arts system that has literally changed cultures. Bruce Lee arrived at a critical point in his-tory, being the first martial

James Neiman, whom his students call Sensei James, was born in 1964 and raised in Fremont, California. From the age of 7 he became deeply fascinated with martial arts. His lifelong journey of martial arts training began in 1978 with a serious and long-term study of Tae Kwon Do and several subsequent martial arts, continued with his evolution into a professional martial artist through the study of Aikido that began in 1995, and cul-minated with the evolution and founding of his own martial art, Shugyo Aikido, in 2013. Grandmaster Neiman was inducted into the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2013, in recognition of a lifetime of continuous development, achievement, creativity, and leadership in martial arts. He was also inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame on May 17, 2014, as Original System Founder / Grandmaster of the Year

Sifu Justin Cataldi started training Tibe-tan Lama Kung Fu at the age of 13 under Sifu Steven Greenbaum, who is a Black Sash un-der Sifu Jack Soderberg, who also went on to be the CEO of Postnet and appeared on a episode of the TV show the Undercover Boss.

At age 22 he started training with grappling/MMA expert David Howard who went on to be the head Jiu Jitsu Instructor at Fight Capitol in Las vegas, and is a Black Belt under John Lewis.

He was extremely fortunate at age 28 to start training with Guro Richard Lamoureaux who is under GM Danny Inosanto , GM Ted Lucay Jr. & Paul Vunak to name a few of his Instructors.

At that time Sifu Justin was able to also study Lama Kung Fu, Tai Chi & Kickboxing with Sifu Jack Soderberg who is under GM Wai Lun Choi.

1-This position is commonly known as inside sweep, notice that we hit the hand not the stick. This is to attempt to damage the hand holding the weapon ren-dering it useless.

2-Now we replace our stick with our checkhand to in-sure the weapon does not try to continue forward, ena-bling us to use our weapon freely while controling our opponents weapon.

3-Now we are free to strike the arm, body or head of our opponent.In this scenario we will attack the body and arm of our partner for safer practice of our me-chanics.

4-After striking the body we will come back to hit the arm/hand .We will continually go back to attacking the weapon hand as we consider it a contstant threat as long as its active.

5-This circular motion will continue around to strike the top of our partners arm. 6-Finally we place our checkhand on our partners wea-

pon hand again and stab to the belly.

DEFINITION:

Flexibility is the natural biological ability men have to perform full range of motion, due to the mobility to articulate and elasticity of the mus-cles, ligaments and tendons by itself and under external influences, partially conditioned by coordination.

FORMS OF FLEXIBILITY TRAINING:

1. Passive Flexibility2. Active Flexibility3. General Flexibility4. Specific Flexibility5. Stretching.

Passive Flexibility: it refers to the maximum ran-ge of motion a sportsman develops under exter-nal strength (partner, additional weight, devices, tools, etc.), due to the capacity of stretching or the antagonists relaxation.

Active Flexibility: it refers to the maximum ran

ge of motion about a joint due to the protago-nists contraction and the antagonists stretching.

General Flexibility: it is known as the main joint systems development (humeral-scapula, femo-ral-lame, and spinal-cord).

Specific Flexibility: it refers to the development of a specific joint which determines the success in a sport modality (E.g. the hurdler with the femoral-lame joint, the crawlswimmer with the humeral-scapula).

Stretching: it is a tension-relaxation-extension method. Practicing this method helps the body feel its benefits.

IMPORTANCE OF FLEXIBILITY

Its betterment, adjusted to the demands of mar-tial arts, brings about a positive action on the de-velopment of the physical features that control efficiency (strength, velocity, resistance, etc.), and the technical abilities.

Itis an essential issue of the training sessions.

It helps to prevent injures (elastic muscle, better carries raised mechanical weight).

It is achieved faster with daily training,

The optimal age goes from 11-14 years then; a well-graded training work will be enough to keep the reached level of mobility (Jurgen Wuineck- Optimal training).

METHOD OLO G ICA L PRINCIPLES FOR

TRAINING FLEXIBILITY

It must be trained:

Daily and continually, without large scale inte-rruptions.

After a well-thought warm up session; never after a hard practice of ge-neral resistance nor under muscle weariness.

The slow-downs within the practice sessions must be devoted to relaxation.

Extension must reach the maximum limit seve-ral times and progressively exceed it. During the specific tra-ining of a given sport, its improvement turns mo-mentary for about 10 mi-nute; after a stretching practice session, long term slow-downs must be avoi-ded.

Its improvement is kept longer after active practice than after passive flexibili-ty training.

To reach the maximum level, extension must be practiced in several direc-tions.

To carry out active flexi-bility, some weigh exerci-ses can be done in the free segment.

Lets start the exercise with feet together (Pho-to 1), and we flex the trunk to the front to try to touch the floor with the tips of our fingers (Photo 2), then with our fists (Photo 3) and the palms of the hands (Photo 4).

Then, we will do the same to the front (Pho-to-2-3-4), sides (Photo-5,6-7) and backward (Photo-8,9-10).

It is important to note that we should never bend our knees. They can be executed of 15 to 25 repe-titions.

Active Flexibility.

In order to accurately represent Sensei, I will proceed to detail how he appeared in my life.

I met Sensei about 20 years ago at a gym in Madrid, Spain. In that time I was training Karate, and following my class, I went to the weight room to lift weights. Soon after, Sensei appeared in his whe-elchair (he had recently been in his car accident), and I witnessed in awe how he lifted himself up from the wheelchair and into the leg press. He couldnt move his lower train, but he would remain there, concentrated as if he was in fact able to move the weights with his legs. Somewhat in shock, I asked him what was that he was doing. With assurance, he looked at me, explained about his car accident and told me that one day he would walk again. By the next day, he had gained a new student in his class. That was me.

Unfortunately, I could only train with him for a month before I had to go to the USA for work, losing all contact with him.

Fifteen years later, I began having very strong recollections about Sensei and wondering what had become of him. So I began to search the internet. I was stunned to find a lot of negative things about the man, and very few positive.

Was it him, the same master I once knew? How could he have changed so much?

Juan Hombre Sensei, A story of courage and passionBy: Antonio Fernndez Rioja

JUNE/2014 45

I decided to write him an email, which he replied to right way. The following weekend, I visited his dojo in the mountains with a couple of friends, and it was a full weekend of very intense training. I got back home so sore from it that I couldnt even get out of my vehicle. I found, however, a great martial arts master and some marvelous tra-ining mates that weekend. Since then, it has been six years of continuous training under Master Hombre.

Juan Hombre Sensei was born in Negreira (Gali-cia) in the year 1956. His trajectory in the martial arts has been vertiginous, since this has been his life. He lives by and for the martial arts. He has studied and practiced various disciplines, but Nin-jutsu has always been his greatest passion.

In 1987, he experienced a miserable car accident that would drastically change his life, an event of extreme harshness for a person like him. Against all odds, he fought to be able to walk again and cast aside his wheelchair. Little by little, step by step, he returned to the world of martial arts.

Since then, Master Hombres students have won

more than seventy world martial arts titles and eight hundred titles in Spain. Master Hombre has developed two systems of his own. Each of them with a rich and well-structu-red learning program: JAPAN NINJUTSU AND TAISHINDO.

JAPAN NINJUTSU: Hombre Sensei has been searching the essence of Ninjutsu through various masters in Japan over a span of more than twen-ty-five years: Hatsumi Sensei, Higuchi Sensei, Yunoki Sensei, Kiyomoto Sensei, Zhenga Sensei, Ukita Sensei, and Kawakami Soke and maintains relationships with other descendant figures of ninja, like those of the Momochi family.

In 1999, after a visit of several months in Japan, where he stayed in Kawakami Sokes residence, Mr. Hombre decided to found JAPAN NINJUTSU, an independent organization for the preservation and re-establishment of traditional Shinobi-jutsu, their way of life, history, culture and tradition.

In the year 2005, Hombre Sensei was baptized as ONBURE DONO (Great Warrior of the Spirit),

and in 2008, Kawakami Soke presented him with the Densho Ten No Maki and ennobled him as Doshi (Fellow On The Path).

Juan Hombre Senseis Ninjutsu and Bujutsu is distinctly different from what is familiar to most. It is a Bujutsu from the battlefield, very aggressi-ve, dynamic and fast. Japan Ninjutsus program is vast and infinite, and you will learn Atemi-Jutsu, Koppo-jutsu, Yawara-Jutsu, Batto-jutsu, Shinobi-ken-jutsu, and Kaginawa-jutsu (to name a few), as well as Japanese history and culture, strategy, usage of tools, field survival and medicinal plants - for Sensei, Ninjutsu is the art of survival and adaptation.

Further more, Senseis philosophy is something I loved, due to the fact that he understands Ninjut-

su as a path of personal improvement that must be carried out in nature. This makes the training exhausting, but full of excitement.

TAISHINDO is the other discipline developed by Hombre Sensei. Taishindo is a modern self-defen-se and combat system that constantly evolves and improves upon itself, yet always stays true to its base program and foundational learning milesto-nes.

Within the TAISHINDO system, there are several specialized programs that offer each collective a highly functional training and learning experien-ce: Taishindo Kenpo, Taishindo Law Enforcement, Military Taishindo. Each strive for a professional system adapted and geared towards different ages, occupations, skill sets, and the challenges of each

JUNE/2014 47

The military and law enforcement TAISHINDO program was developed by Master Juan Hombre in 1995, upon receiving a petition from the Spani-sh armed forces to prepare a specialized instruc-tion and drilling program for the BRIPAC, the Spanish elite parachute brigade. After the success of this first venture, he received a request to de-velop an alternate program for the military police and upon its completion, the development of an exclusive program for the penitentiary police for-ce. The three divisions mentioned above formed in these first years (1995-96) a versatile and eclectic tactical system of self-defense geared towards the Spanish ARMED FORCES. They strived for a simple, effective and above all OPERATIONAL methodology that was exclusively geared toward the TACTICAL needs of an operative, remaining precise and relevant. The general layout of this technical program is divided around the study of the following discipli-nes:

POLICE INTERVENTION(Dissuasions-Reductions-Control-Extractions)HANDCUFFING-MANEUVERS(Handcuffs-Trifold-Zip ties-Type)KOBUDO TACTICAL(Baton-Kubotan-PR24-Tonfa-Improvised street weapons)FIREARMS (Active shooter-High risk enviroments-Reten-tions)HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT(Holds-Vital points-Chokes-submmisions-MMA)URBAN COMBAT(CQB-CQC-CSF-CSI)Close Quarter BattleClose Quarter CombatClose Street CombatClose Security Intervention

ZEN NIPPON TOYAMA RYU IAIDO KYOKAIS

Por: Kyoshi Dinatale

For the first time, Argenti-na will have its own ZEN NI-PPON TOYAMA RYU IAIDO KYOKAIs Dj, the imperial militia sword school.

Past June the 14th in the Zen Nippon Toyama-Ryu Iai-Do Kyokais So Honbu, Shihan Council Table, it was decided, after a hidebound selection process, to name Mr. Federico Francisco Dinatale as Sensei S Shibuch (master and head instructor, in Argentina, for

the aforementioned school). This designation is the starting point in the alignment between Argentinian branch and the Ja-panese headquarters allowing Dinatale Sensei to spread the voice and put together the prac-tice of the Toyama Ryu style in the region.

Nowadays, the instruction in this praxis outside Japan takes place, closely supervised by three S Shibuch, in 15 Djs worldwide. Dinatale Sensei was chosen by the So Honbu, in Ja-pan, to be part of this worship-ful group after meeting all the

requirements this institution demands.
