I take it you are referring to this:
http://www.fightingarts.com/ubbthreads/s...part=1&vc=1I think you should make another thread about any issue you have with people on the forums opinions of Mr Soto. Its not fair to take over another persons thread.
BTW, the term Aikijujutsu was coined by Takeda Sokaku. Mr Soto has no verifiable links to Takeda Sokaku. Ergo, he can use the term Aikijutsu all he wants, but that doesn't mean he teaches aikijutsu. The worst thing Takeda Sensei ever did (or didn't do) was copyright the term Aikijujutsu. If he did, you wouldn't see half as many cowboys pretending to teach something that they aren't.
There is no such art as Diato Ryo. Clearly you don't know an awful lot about traditional Japanese arts. If you did, chances are you wouldn't believe what Irving Soto says about teach "Aikijutsu".
If you have PROOF to refute any of the above, please provide.
NB "Mr Soto told me so" does not count as proof.
If you want to chat about this further, please make another thread.
