In mid-August Kan Junichi, soke of Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō and a senior student of Hatsumi Masaaki, held his first taikai outside Japan, in Ireland. Steven Hellingh of Bujinkan Stockholm Gyokuryu Dōjō describes a welcoming atmosphere that felt like a larger Honbu class. Training was structured around kihon, taijutsu, and weapons. A student from Japan showed the basic forms and translated; Kan then added kamae, kyojitsu, shizen no nagare, koppōjutsu, and henka. Hellingh says the teaching is concepts more than collecting techniques: first have a base, then dare to leave it. Be humble, he says, and just go.

Hirokazu Takamoto of Takamoto Dōjō has titles under IBJJF, SJJIF and AJP and, as of 2026, a ten-year run at Japan's master championships. Kohei Nishibayashi of PATO STUDIO is the first Japanese black belt to complete the IBJJF master Grand Slam, and he also has a no-gi IBJJF win. In a WEB秘伝 video interview dated 26 August the two master-division competitors talk about why they keep fighting, how they approach matches, daily training, and how they combine work with competition. The clip is tied to Hiden's September 2026 special on Brazilian jiu-jitsu as culture and technique.

When this 25 August interview ran, under a month remained before the Swedish Bujinkan Federation camp in Nynäshamn. The page still lists registration by 30 August at [email protected]; the fee is 300 kronor. Instructor Magnus Minghetti says the theme is Bujinkan in everyday life, but the organiser has been secretive, so even the instructors know little. He suspects confined spaces, seated work, ground fighting, one against many, and improvised weapons. He calls the camp a low-cost meeting place and cites Hatsumi Sensei's networking as one of Bujinkan's six treasures. Come train, he says: white belt or black, title or none.

Toryū published a complete English translation of a 1698 handwritten Marishiten-hō manuscript, the Ritual Method of Marishiten. The eleven-leaf copy is held at Zentsūji in Kagawa and is digitised via the National Institute of Japanese Literature. A colophon says the elder monk Jōgon of Reiun drafted this copy in Genroku 11 from a 1628 transcription. The text mixes classical Japanese, kanbun, and Siddham, with mudrās, visualisations, and dhāraṇī. It includes the Antardhāna invisibility seal and a matching translation of the Buddha's Sūtra of Mārīcī, the goddess who travels before the sun and moon unseen.
