Edi,

"I'd advise you to join the email ladder, ask s.o. to play and also ask for
game comments. You'll find it on www.shogi.net/ladder/"

Thank you for the advice.  I will definitely consider playing on the ladder
in the future.

...Bukendo, and Tasumaru Ryu Bujtusu..
"These I don't know. What's that?"

Bukendo is a style of Japanese Swordsmanship similar to that which was
practiced prior to WWII.  I consider it to be more like a cross between
Modern Kendo and Traditional Kenjutsu.
Tasumaru Ryu Bujutsu is a large system in the style of the Traditional
Bujutsu prior to the Meiji Era.  It includes both Armed and Unarmed combat
methodologies.  My school also requires other elements such as strategy
games, art, music, etc. to develop well rounded Martial Artists.  I will be
happy to answer any other questions you may but our fellow List members may
prefer if you e-mail me privately.

Respectfully,
Brannon
