Thomas,
great stuff. I wonder what is your source and does it say whether
this list is pre- or post- 1600?
thanks,

To Tom:
My source was the site mentioned in the post:
http://judoforum.com/blog/joseverson/index.php?&req=printentry&eid=85
<http://judoforum.com/blog/joseverson/index.php?&req=printentry&eid=85>
, which I found via an extensive google research using words like "the
18 (ancient) arts of samurai" and "bugei juhappan".

Cheers
Thomas

Thomas -
Thanks for that, interesting stuff. Anybody know what a "Warpecker"
is? I googled it and this is the only time I have seen a google
search come back with only 2 pages, none of them useful...
