My SOKE is Masaaki Hatsumi.

Ninpo, eh? Was in a very good Ninpo dojo here in the East for about 5 years. Next to aikido and kempo, it's about the only martial art that hasn't been turned into a sport or a dance. Frankly, I'm much more interested in the ability to kick the other guy's a** than in the search for "inner peace"...
