Hello all,

These DVDs are from training in Japan during 2006. The theme that year
was Shinden Fudo Ryu. Soke had the Shihan
continue to teach Gyokko Ryu (theme from 2005) while he taught Shinden
Fudo Ryu at Hombu and Ayase. The training
we filmed during 2006 was a combination of Gyokko Ryu techniques that we
learned attending Nagato and Noguchi Sensei's
classes and the Shinden Fudo Ryu techniques and concepts that we learned
from attending Hatsumi Sensei's classes at
Hombu and Ayase.

Here is a break down of what is on each of the Volumes and the guest
instructors. Note the many BTSD Shidoshi/Shihan
and BTSD friends that are featured. It is also very cool to see how the
theme and training progresses throughout the year
as depicted in these videos. These DVDs will be available for sale on
our website in the next couple of days.
