    Read the bio ...


    One thing, Bunjinkan was established well before the 1990s, when Ali trained with Brian Mc Carthy in Parnell st., to the point of Hatsumi hosting the Matsuri in Dublin in 1988.

    The reason he broke away from Japan in 1990s was blackbelt gradings were not taken seriously, to the point of young men like Ali and Alex getting such high gradings.

    They are deserving of blackbelts, but 6th / 7th dan ...

    - correct... I took this error out of the bio. It did say "before Bujinkan was firmly established". "Firmly" meant relative to today... but that was a personal opion so I'll leave my bio as being more factual.

    when Ali trained with Brian Mc Carthy in Parnell st., to the point of Hatsumi hosting the Matsuri in Dublin in 1988.

    .. as I started Bujinkan training in 1989, I missed training when Mr McCarthy hosted Mr. Hatsumi in 1988.
    They are deserving of blackbelts, but 6th / 7th dan ...

    I'll write a bit about Bujinkan grading on my dojo website but I'll say this here for people interested:

    Bujnkan grades are between the instructor and the student. Period. Brian McCarthy's was between him and Hatsumi, mine is between me and my teacher, his is between him and his teacher. I put my grade on the website because it shows that I am officially allowed to teach within the Bujinkan.

    You cannot compare blackbelts in 2 different martial arts - they're only meaningfull to your own personal experience in the art. The Bujinkan grade system only alows teachers at 5th Dan and above, other arts its first Dan. This shows the relativey different scales going on, to a degree. Apples and Oranges.

    If Bujinkan members disagree with what the system does, they leave.
