Has anyone ever heard of Shonin Kwon Do. It says its a blend of ninpo, tkd, and a butt load of other ****.

Oh and one of the students was boasting about the master's ability to beat Royce Gracie on another forum.

Bullshit or no?

I'd say complete bullshit just based on his clamed lineage. Also, this guy is only 32-33 years old. Kind of young to be head of a system, even if it is your own.

FUMA RYU!!!!!!!

*whistle* *toss fla* BS on the play 15 yard penalty!!!

Kiddies Fuma Ryu is one of those red flag arts. Its dead. There is no continous lineage. ANYONE claims such lineage is full of it.

Now the name of the art. SHONIN KWON DO according to the kanji used mess WITNESS FIST WAY. But what I don't think he realizes is the witness in this case is meant for someone taking the stand in a court of law. Pluse mixing languages in a name!!!! :eusa_naug

Speaking of names lets look at some:

Kin Quan Kazazama
Ameshida Kehong Kazazama
Suik Hung Kazazama.

:eusa_thin :eusa_thin :eusa_thin
I'm speechless.

This is just ripping on the cosmetic level of the art. I'll have to watch the vids to ge t to the actual meat but its not looking good.

I really don't have a problem with pple founding their own arts. All systems were founded by someone but those pple at least had an clue. :5paperbag

Actually I think he is holding the sword incorrectly
I really liked the "staring off at the distant misty mounyains", maybe when the buzz wears off he realize that he's been waiting for the sunset ON a POSTER!!

Yeah, I definately thought this "style" was fishy. One of the students was all bragging about its d34dlin3ss and that they can take on anyone.

First question. How do you hold a sword wrong when it's resting on your shoulder? i mean, and i could be completely wrong on this, but is there some sort of all powerful technique for holding your sword on your shoulder? if so please let me know.

Second question. How come everyone is constantly saying that the Fuma Ryu is dead? even in my Japanese history books it states that Fuma Ryu disappeared; never that it died. Now i do understand that when coming to most arts that are very disputable as such there are more pre-cautions to take but that does not mean an art is dead. Sho Kosugi is known for being in and studying Tanaka Ryu which is a sect of Fuma Ryu. Now if it is true that Fuma Ryu is completely dead wouldn't that also mean all of the sects of Fuma Ryu like Tanaka Ryu and others be as equally dead? Then how come they still exist?

THe only cool arts with mixed language names are Bartitsu and Rex Kwon Do.

Sho Kosugi is a fake and you are exceptionally stupid for basing an argument on that load of ****. There is a lot of things wrong with the way he handled the sword because if he claims to teach a Japanese style of kenjutsu and he can't handle the blade right, it is a dead on spot, to him being full of ****. Including the Fuma ryu/Tanaka ryu and Aikijujutsu bullshit, every picture and word on that sight is a lie.
