This is fascinating listening to Okazaki Sensei on the subject of the Tanden. It's great that he speaks English so well and is prepared to discuss subjects that most Japanese teachers simply can not communicate either through lack of language skills or perhaps they simply do not have this level of knowledge. Thanks for making this available. Ossu!
@njordan445 um.....who told you that? When I was training at Glenside we used to go out and drink beer and eat pizza with him, his nephew Hiro-sensei and Taka-Sensei after our monthly monday night training with him. Down to earth gentleman.

Taka Sensei used to be my teacher. Even if Senei Teruyuki may not teach or train there it is his dojo. if that makes sense

Yeah you're right. It is Seika Tanden, not Seika Kanden.

I think it's Seika Tanden, not Seika Tanden (according to Okazaki sensei's description). Hope we can train with him again.
Osu, Okazaki sensei!

Oops, it should be 'it's Seika Tanden, not Seika Kanden'...
