Φανταστική απεικόνιση: Έλληνες κομάντο με σύγχρονες τεχνικές Ninjutsu μπροστά από την Αγία Σοφία και τον χάρτη των επιχειρήσεων Ανατολικής Θράκης και Ιωνίας Σχέδιο ΙΩΝΙΑ & Σχέδιο ΕΨΙΛΟΝ — Η Άγνωστη Ιστορία Γράφει ο Γεώργιος Παπασημάκης Η ιδέα της απελευθέρωσης της Κωνσταντινούπολης παραμένει βαθιά χαραγμένη στην εθνική μας συνείδηση.  Λίγοι όμως γνωρίζουν ότι στο παρελθόν, το ελληνικό Επιτελείο είχε εκπονήσει πραγματικά στρατιωτικά σχέδια με αυτόν τον σκοπό. Σήμερα θα σας παρουσιάσω όσα γνωρίζουμε για το Σχέδιο ΙΩΝΙΑ και το μυστηριώδες Σχέδιο ΕΨΙΛΟΝ — σχέδια που, αν υλοποιούνταν, θα άλλαζαν την ιστορία του Ελληνισμού.  Και θα δούμε πώς η χρήση μεθόδων των ninja και του Ninjutsu θα μπορούσε να ενισχύσει κρίσιμα τέτοιες επιχειρήσεις ειδικών αποστολών. Το Ιστορικό Πλαίσιο Μετά τον Β’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και εν μέσω του Ψυχρού Πολέμου, η Ελλάδα εντάχθηκε στο ΝΑΤΟ το 1952.  Η ισορροπία δυνάμεων στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο ήταν εύθραυστη και στο Επιτελείο υπήρχαν σενάρια για πολεμ...

The Truth About Toda Sensei

Traditionally in Japan, the young bushi were not taught the fighting techniques by their father but by one of their uncles.
The reason for that is that an uncle was less likely to listen to the screaming of the kid. Learning Budô is painful and as Sensei said once: “if you don’t like pain, then don’t train Budô”. But we can imagine that things were even tougher for a young kid in 19th century Japan.

We know from the stories told by Hatsumi Sensei, that Takamatsu Sensei’s nickname, when he was a kid, was 泣き味噌, nakimiso (crybaby). We also know that Takamatsu’s father was often mad at him for not showing the courage expected to be found in a kid descending from a bushi family. His father was very strict and the young Takamatsu was often physically punished. This was common practice at that time (19th century).
Takamatsu’s father wanted his son to join the army and thought that he needed some training before joining the academy, and for that reason, decided to send his son to Toda Sensei’s “Shinden Fudô Ryû Jûtaijutsu dôjô”.
Takamatsu began his training, reluctantly but with consistency. He was 9 year old only when he began his training with Toda Sensei. He would join training every day after his day at school. The way trainings were conducted at that time was tough and painful. Hatsumi Sensei’s said that even though Takamatsu was a small kid (weak), he was treated by the older students as if he was a grownup, and that he spent his classes being hit and thrown all over the dôjô.
The name Toda Shinryûken Masamitsu is known to all of us in the Bujinkan. He was an instructor at the Tokugawa Military Academy in Nakano-cho in Kyoto* and retired (or resigned) for political/ethical reasons**. He taught at his Shinden Fudô Ryû Jûtaijutsu dôjô supposedly until he died in 1909. When Takamatsu (nakimiso) joined in, Toda Sensei was already very old (1818-1909)***, being 70 years older than the young Takamatsu.
But there is something that many practitioners don’t know.
