Billy is also a veritable library unto himself with all sorts of documents from the old days of the Bujinkan.  AND he is willing to share! We all just have to find a way to make it available and fair for all. let us know if you have any ideas! Hope you enjoy!

Let the golden voice of Craig Olsen drop some gold nuggets on you!

From Ninjutsu in the World by Paul Masse

Craig Olsen spent a many years in Japan training consistently and diligently with Hatsumi Sensei AND he took notes!  Today he is very generous to give us the benefit of his hard work and study as he drops some pure  jewels  from his training days on us! I am excited!

Also he will be releasing a book shortly that will have many more of these episodes in it. And I am beyond delighted to get to read of his experiences with Sensei.   This  is a short blurb about the book.    "This is not a book of techniques. It’s a collection of vital lessons transmitted through paintings, verbal mentorings and physical thrashings that I received from Hatsumi Sensei while training with him in Japan from 1997-2013. This book answers the question, “What was that like?”  Damn! Looking forward to this.

Be sure to check out Craig at his dojo in Charlotte, NC.  if you are in the states.

Get the lowdown on Ed Lomax! Australia`s original Yaban Jin!

From Ninjutsu in the World by Paul Masse

Today we talk with Ed Lomax from Adelaide, Australia.  Every time I speak with Ed, I learn a lot!  He is a veritable encyclopedia of information and top class in his work as a physiotherapist in his country. Also in terms of his personal training, he is always exploring and pushing the envelope to dig deep into the art as taught by Hatsumi Sensei.  I'm sure you will find his discussions enlightening. If you are in Australia, you can find him by messaging Takago ninpo dojo or catch him when he is teaching around the world.  Let's get into it! The picture is a painting Hatsumi Sensei did of Ed.  He captured it Yaban Jin, a brute or wild man!
