Schools derived from the  TAKEDA family

   There are now a lot of schools and styles of martial arts, all over the world, some of them founded by "masters" who claim that they continue some old traditions, maybe more authetic then all others. This is ussualy a problem with western guys but also some japanese soke's rise over night , from some shallow hidden tradition, since long time forgotten. Most of this schools are just poor replicas with no deep meaning of their ways of moving...
