A quote from page "x" of the book: " This book is a reconstruction of Hironori Ohtsuga’s genious method based on the authors research and 40 years experience in Wadoryu karate. "

Were these techniques not widely trained in the Wadoryu group in Finland under Mr Ogata?

Hello, Ben.
If you are asking that question of me, I do not know.

Hi Mike
It was more in response to Gary's question as to where the author may have learnt the techniques. I was just a bit slack with editing the quotes.
"This book is a reconstruction of Hironori Ohtsuga’s genious method based on the authors research and 40 years experience in Wadoryu
karate." Yes, this is a reconstruction, but very valid if you study the book.
