My dear friend, Peter Boylan, who has written profound essays on martial arts as The Budo Bum for decades now, has been interviewed for the latest book in this ongoing series.
In addition to being highly ranked in modern judo and jodo, Peter has been a very serious longtime student of two venerable koryu arts, so his perspective comes from a deep place.

Final score from Tendo-ryu class today: Sue 1, overhead light 0.

That's one overhead light that will never threaten us again.

I’m extremely happy to announce that I have passed my Hōzōin-ryū shinsa. I’ve passed shokyū and can learn the next set of kata =]

I’ve spent a year training with Sakamoto sensei in Toronto, it has been incredibly rewarding and am so excited for what comes next. #koryu #martialarts
