Ninjutsu-Judo-Aikido Connection? The Facts. Ninja-Ninjutsu Podcast #6, part deux

Was there an influence on Judo by Toshitsugu Takamatsu? What is the relationship between Aikido and the Kuki family? I go over the details in this.

Fun fact: The current Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, trained at the Kodokan.

I wonder who Hatsumi soke will have trained with after he leave's this world , all the rumors will be wild like this one, lol.

[@hasanicoward4425]

I can agree it has to be a Japanese source

[@noctiscreo793]

Random question Mr. Roley. Do you have any reliable sources on the legitimacy of Takamatsu himself being the heir to all of the 9 schools, and that the Bujinkan's claim to teach 'ninjutsu' is legitimate? Different 'sources' I've read on the internet seem to argue back and forth as to whether or not Tagakure is even a school of ninjutsu at all.

I am going to put out a book someday that details all of that. It is not something that can be explained simply. I will have to go through a lot of things and explain them bit by bit. And of course I want to make sure I have all the facts before I publish it.
