I’d like to congratulate the Bugei Brazilian Society for the wonderfull work with the Ancient Japanese Arts of War. I saw your DVD (japanese version) when i went to Iwama - Japan -  last year. A friend of mine had the oportunity to ask another friend from Onoha Itto Ryu.  That DVD really surprised us. The Kaze no Ryu Bugei is a very beautiful and fast style, specially iaijutsu and battojutsu techniques.

Congratulations again!

Wilian Selby  (Takemusu Aiki)

Please tell me more about the Kaze no Ryu Bugei.Your techniques about sword are very fast and accurate.

Your Tameshigiri is perfect! Is there any other material that i can study from here?

Antoni Berghman  (Genbukan - France)

Your techniques are my inspiration. The Iaijutsu and Battojutsu are very beautiful.

I know only the aikiken. Gongratulations for your website! It’s the best one I had ever saw. When you will translate to english?

Peter Kully  (Shinshin Toitsu Aikido)

Your informations about Koryu are very deep. My friend is brazilian and helped me with the translation process.

I am a student of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. I like many arts of the japanese sword, and your techniques are fantastic!

I saw one celebration of Katori Shinto Ryu in France. It was great! Someday I’d like to go to Brazil and visit you, if you honor me.

Just a coincidence?

I first met grand master Jordan Augusto when i was travelling to Japan, invited to see a traditional cerimony in Hagoromo, Osaka. I had no idea that the cerimony was from ancient Bugei schools, descended from a mistery art, Uchiu Shizen.

Already heard about that misterious art, but couldn´t imagine so much beauty and knowledge it had. And then, a friend showed me how i could get inside the international congress, that´s happening near there, but too close to "foreigns". But not from another countries i mean, but Bugei tradition outsiders. Increadible, even the japanese people who didn´t participate that tradition was called as a "gaijin".

In that culture, they usually say: "umei de". It means that something has to happen because is written in destiny. That´s what occured to me. While some presentations i could see (many of them were about religion and spirituality), i saw the Brazilian team exposing excelents theories about their religion, that impressed the hole place over.

Maybe beacause i felt some of me on them, but i just went to their direction to present myself. After that, a wonderfull relation continues through time, becoming stronger everytime i go to Brazil to visit them.

When i heard by himself that he was writing a book about the Tradition of Kenjutsu, i said right away: " the doors of heaven have opened finally!"

Best regards, my friend.

The history about arts of war doesn´t tell us the japanese tradition as the way it really was. Some lineage descended could tell what was fact and what was tale.

It´s good to know that Shidoshi Jordan is letting his knowledge to the world. He is one of a few we can trust the reference from Kenjutsu´s origin.

And, of course, is an honor to be requested for this preface, and i don´t feel my words can get to the level of this work.

Congratulations.

From your friend,
