"Next, although there are many undecided plans, I'll give a description of what's coming up. My guiding plan after this is to make Japan my own home base. Last year I began teaching a 22 year old Japanese K-1 fighter, to guide him towards becoming a future champion. As for him, if he can train satisfactorily and without injury, then in 2 or 3 years, becoming a champion won't be just a dream."

The Jinenkan was founded by Fumio Manaka (martial name "Unsui") in 1996. The purpose of the oganization is to allow students to study the martial arts of old Japan freely and unhindered under his guidance. Unsui has 40 years of experience in the Japanese arts of Kobudo (old martial ways).

The Jinenkan offers instruction in Taijutsu (unarmed fighting skills), Bikenjutsu (sword arts), Yari (spear), Naginata (halberd), Tessen (iron fan), Jutte (truncheon), Kusari-fundo (weighted chain), Tantojutsu (knife), Bo, Hanbo, Jo (staff arts), and more. http://www.jinenkan.com/Default.asp

To my knowledge Fumio Manaka aka Unsui shihan is an expert of a rare Bujutsu branch which has worked kinda "closed doors" for ages. Some Bujutsu practitioners from my place had a seminar with him years ago, they told the man is incredible. But how much can this result into coaching well a striker for a ring discipline is yet to be seen.

I agree. I just think it's interesting that a kickboxer is studying the classical styles to excell in kickboxing comprtition.
