e put together some of our favorite links,
but the list keeps getting larger and larger.
So, we've regrouped them into several catagories
below. Hopefully this will make it easier to browse
and find what your looking for.

Budo Groups


• Aikido Center of Los Angeles (www.aikidocenterla.com). This
  aikido dojo is run by Rev. Kensho Furuya, who sends Furyu regular
  notes about the goings-ons of their group for our magazine calendar.
  It's affiliated with Hombu Dojo aikido.
  
  
• Clubs of the Pacific Northwest Kendo Federation. Compiled by the
  indefatigable Tom Bolling, a regular correspondent to Furyu.
  
  
• Don Cunningham's Budokai web page. Judo, martial arts, articles
  and insights. Don is a frequent contributor to Furyu.
  
  
• International Karate Kobudo Federation. Several members of the
  group were featured in our Budo Calendars and other articles.

  profiled in Furyu. Primarily aikido, with staff arts, etc.

Suppliers


• Bugei Trading Company. A very eclectic treasury of Japanese
  things, including martial arts supplies, videos, weapons, and so on.
  
  
• Bu Jin Design. A lot of aikido-related training outfits, hakama, bokken,
  etc. Some items may be of general interest to other non-aikido martial
  artists, including the Bu Jin line of travel gear. I tried their hakama. It
  was a very, very sturdy denim-style blue.
  
  
• East Coast Martial Arts Supplies. If you need something on the East
  Coast, try these people out. They are one of the few stores we deal
  with directly that sells Furyu the Budo Journal. You can email
  Mr. Bob Elder with your queries about martial arts equipment and
  uniforms, etc.
  
  
• Noshuiaido Makers of Japanese-style iai swords and specialized
  weapons, located in Maryland. They have swords that come from
  Japanese swordsmiths. Pretty good-looking stuff.

Publications


• Aikido Journal Online The most respected English language journal
  on aikido in the world, bar none. It's long-lived and has some very
  good articles in every issue.
  
  
• Dragon Times Online The print journal features some of the best
  articles on "serious" martial arts history this side of Furyu.
  
  
• Journal of Asian Martial Arts A slick, glossy, and thick journal on
  various Asian martial arts systems. Some stories in the past have
  been somewhat odd, but on the whole, it takes a scholarly and well
  researched approach to martial arts.
  
  
• Journal of Japanese Sword Arts (The Iaido Newsletter Magazine),
  44 Inkerman St., Guelph, Ontario, N1H 3C5, Canada (on the web:
  www.uoguelph.ca/~iaido).
  
  
• Kenyu Online. Edited by Tom Bolling, a regular correspondent to
  Furyu. This is the official newsletter of the Pacific Northwest
  Kendo Federation.
  
  
• Koryu Books. Meik and Diane Skoss' publishing company. They put
  out Koryu Bujutsu, in my opinion one of the best series of books on
  the history and culture of Japanese classical martial arts in years.

Japanese Cultural Sites


• Michi Online. A web site on Japanese budo and traditional culture,
  produced by H.E. Davey, a regular contributor to Furyu the
  Budo Journal.
  
  
• The Tokyo Food Page (www.bento.com/tokyofood.html)
  This is a real funky site. It's all about food and eating in Tokyo.
  Wonderful site to waste your time in.
  
  
  
• Urasenke Foundation Hompage Online (http://www.urasenke.or.jp).
  The official home page of the Urasenke Foundation, one of the
  largest schools of chanoyu ("tea ceremony," which is a very
  poor rendering of the Japanese meaning). Big graphics, very nice
  images, in Japanese and English. A good intro to the "feel" of
  traditional Japanese culture.
  
  
• Wayne's Web Pages. A variety of web pages created by
  Tengu Press publisher and editor Wayne Muromoto.
