I am very happy to be attending the 'USA Unified Martial Arts Hall of Fame' ceremony next week with James Shortt Hanshi, where we will both be inducted into the 'United States Jujitsu Federation's Hall of Fame' as 'Pioneers of Jujutsu'.
I can think of no more deserving recipient than Shortt Hanshi.
It is an extraordinary coincidence that these honours will occur on the 400th anniversary of Ryōi Shintō-ryū Jūjutsu (良移心当流 柔術).
