Hello all,
Sensei Weber was nice enough to send me a dvd of he and Sensei Murphy performing Isshin Ryu kata in 1968. I believe this is in Jersey City. Bill Briamonte will recognize the dojo if it is.I was a green belt at the time and I remember coming to class one day, in Summit, and hearing we were changing our system. Loving what I was learning and having full faith of Sensei Murphy, I said "OK!" From all that Sensei Murphy had learned up to that point, Isshin Shorinji Ryu was born. There are some clips of Master Gogen Yamaguchi, "The Cat", of Goju, performing Sanchin kata. You can see the similarities in ours. If any of you would like me to burn you a copy, I will. Please send me your name and address. Thanks, Bob Cusumano

Most definitely, I'd love a copy! Address below.

I sent a copy of the DVD of you and your brother to Shihan Chirico- he lost a good chunk of his dojo and records in a storm last winter, and I was trying to help him replace some documents and such. He called the other night and had really high compliments for you and your brother's kata.

Sensei Cusumano,

 

Thank you for the info. I would love to have a copy. I wonder if It would be possible for me to add it to the videos I have on my website, www.okinawa-te.info. Even if I cannot put it on the website, I would love to have a copy for my personal use.

 

Thank you,

Rod Lindgren

Sure! I have DVDs of a few other people from various branches of the system performing the kata I can send as well. Can I trade you for a DVD of the Mike Donnell video on your website, and anything else you have floating around?

I'm forever in your debt! We need to find some time to get together and work some more on kata (which puts me ever further in your debt!). Let me know if ever I can do anything for you!

Hi Chris,
I'll be glad to send you a copy. Bob

Sounds like a fair trade. I will be getting more video up on the website as the days go forward. I need to get some stuff out of storage to make a DVD for you, but it should be no problem.

To all those I sent the dvd file to, please let me know if you have been able to view it. I know of one person who cannot. I will send a copy of the dvd in the mail if you have problems. Thanks, Bob

It looks pretty good, especially the footage in the dojo.

Doesn't it look like the system is hatching from the egg, as Soke Murphy is moving away from the vertical punches and half-twist forearm blocks in the original Sunsu?

Many thanks for sharing it! It made my day.

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if anyone will see this post. Some of you know Sensei Al Santucci. He just celebrated his 86th birthday the other day but he is in very bad shape physically. As you may know about 7 years ago he and his wife Anita were hit by an automobile on a very cold and snowy night which was the last night  before their retirement. Anita died of course a day later and Concho Santucci sustained injuries from which he never recovered.
 I've been in touch with him all these years and just recently he fell in his home, hit his head on a tile floor and has suffered from seizures. He is now full time in rehabilitation.  He can't speak to well, is very shaky and must be totally taken care off physically.I visited him today again, and told him that I would attempt to contact some of you if possible. If you receive this message,would you write a note of encouragement and I will print it out and read it to him. I know he would like that very much. Thanks, Sensei Leo Weber. My e-mail address: leow...@hotmail.com

Hello Al,
I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about your recent fall. Knowing you, I would expect you fell the way Sensei Murphy taught us😛. Al, I think of you dealing with these on going  health issues and I am amazed at your strength of will and character. When I die and I'm facing the almighty and he's on the fence about letting me in, I'm going to tell him I know you. 😎😎😎🤗🤗🤗😳😳😳. Love, Bob
