Dear Fellow Samurai Devotees,
A friend has just sent me a url with much material on the samurai:
http://koryu.com/index.html
The opening text goes:
A Koryu Primer
Just what are the koryu bujutsu? Authentic classical Japanese martial traditions
are quite rare in the West, and there's not a whole lot of reliable information
in English. If you're curious, this introduction will help you get started with
articles and resources on the martial arts of the Japanese samurai. We've also
included a recommended reading list and some guides to help you distinguish the
real from the wannabes (many of these books can be purchased through our link to
Barnes & Noble).
I'm sure many of you are well aware of this resource, but it is new to me and I
post it whilst it is fresh at my fingertips for those who don't know of it.
Best regards,
Barry Thomas
