TRANSLATIONS PAGE
PLEASE RIGHT CLICK "OPEN IN NEW TAB" ON ALL ITEMS These are amateur translations of all-Japanese language Budo materials, frequently stuff posted to the internet as a web-page. The translations aren't perfect, they are only amateur translations and only for enjoyment, but they're generally good enough to allow one to pick up a thing or two about traditional Japanese budo. I translate the pages due to personal interest, and the ones I like, I post as these amateur translations. Do you have a Budo related all-Japanese web page you'd like to know what it says? Email me the address and I will review it, if it meets our interests then maybe I will translate it and post it to my translation pages here? Don't expect me to respond, but check back now and then, and maybe you'll get lucky (I do this sort of thing all the time.) DO NOT SWAMP ME WITH USELESS EMAILS PLEASE: jtweymo@hotmail.com
THE MASTERS SCROLLS-- Our American Federation of Jujutsu dedicated web-page for the various DENSHO and other documental materials from a variety of traditional Jujutsu and Budo schools. Useful content, many are from the late 1700's and 1800's.
Honjo
Budo No Ron “Our Country's Budo Theories” -- this
is some of the best material I've ever seen, it covers all the
essential theories and origins of traditional Japanese budo, the real
stuff that is seldom ever received by Westerners. It was posted
specifically for Westerners in relationship to the Iraqi-American
wars, but they offered no translation of the document. I happened
upon it and did a translation (boy was I pleased when I did, it's
chock full of good material.) The teachings referred to in the Honjo
budo no ron have been referred to
by many Japanese sensei addressing American and
Western audiences, but this material is actually what they were
referring to in those addresses. So it's sort of like finally getting
a copy of what they were actually referring to. Far as I can tell, it
is a series of excerpts from a thesis done on the traditional
Theories of Budo, which come from certain codified texts and
traditions, Shinto-Buddhist doctrines and references are prolific
throughout the document, I had some trouble with these terms and
references because they were being used in a Budo specific context
and so some of the material there was a little obscure to say the
least. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Shibukawa
Ichi Ryu, Jujutsu -- this is a web-page
mokuroku of the koryu Shibukawa Ichi Ryu jujutsu school, a very good
and traditional school of Japanese jujutsu. It has a very interesting
structure and content, which displays some relevant connection to the
jujutsu of the Takagi and Kukishin schools (sharing some similarity
in nomenclature and etc.)
Hoten ryu -- a web-page mokuroku of koryu bujutsu , a very good and traditional school of Japanese sogo budo. It also has a very interesting structure and content.
Tenshin Koryu Kenpo -- a web-page mokuroku of koryu jujutsu , another good and traditional school of Japanese jujutsu. It also has a very interesting structure and content.
Juku Private Budo School -- another web-page of koryu budo. Pretty good content and interesting background info.
Hontai Yoshin Takagi Ryu -- another web-page mokuroku of koryu(?) budo. Good example of Takagi school structure and content.
Shingyoto ryu -- another web-page mokuroku, this time of koryu(?) kenjutsu school. Has a sub-listing of Jujutsu techniques (looks like it's related to Takagi-kukishinden jujutsu?) Also having a very interesting structure and content.
Jujutsu Ryuha Listing -- a web-page of many many Japanese Jujutsu schools (Kanji and Romaji, to the best of my ability.) Also very interesting for content.
Shinden Yoshin Ryu, Jujutsu-- Our web-page for the mokuroku and other materials of
our school. Useful content. Not Koryu, strictly Gendai.
[INSERT RYUHA NAME HERE] -- another web-page mokuroku of koryu budo. Also having a very interesting structure and content.
