Talk:Dai Nippon Butoku Kai

Goal of article
I think the goal of this article should be to show how the emperor standardized the martial arts (maybe with a link to a list of the original standardization) and to show how these standards have changed, and tell who now is responsible for the standards of today. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Willsketch (talk • contribs).

I believe there should be some information regarding the modern day DNBK, as well as the history. It still exists today and is the most traditional orginization as far as classical budo goes that I know of. I've been training with them for quite some time, and am very impressed at the top notch instruction that I've received, and the lengths they go to preserve the classical traditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.222.37 (talk) 16:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and apologies in advance for any Wikipedia talk page etiquette mistakes I may make - this is my first conversation on Wikipedia. I am a current practitioner of Shindo Jinen-Ryu Karate-Do, and while I understand the desire to have a more complete article on that art, the decision to merge the article on Shindo Jinen-Ryu with the one one the Dai Nippon Budo-Kai was in error; they are two very different things. The DNB was a government body tasked with, essentially, regulating Japanese martial arts, and it was shut down after World War II. Shindo Jinen-Ryu, by contrast is one of the 6 original Japanese karate styles, and is widely practiced today in countries around the world under the auspices of the Japan Karate-Do Ryobu-Kai (JKR) organization, which is headed by the son of the style's founder. (The JKR homepage is located at www.jkr.com.) I would be happy to provide a fleshed out article on Shindo Jinen-Ryu, but don't know how to "re-split" it from the article on the DNB. Can someone please advise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plan.9 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Karate Section
I removed the Karate section in that it was really about one style of Karate that had originally been merged into this article. The style of Karate has its own article now in good standing. Keeping the Karate section would make sense if we listed what the original six schools were rather than just talking about one.Peter Rehse (talk) 06:54, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

DNBK of today vs DNBK pre-WWII
I'd love it if we could have further discussion about the relation of the DNBK of today vs the pre-WWII DNBK. It seems disingenuous and borderline fetishistic to me to imply they're the same organization. Euxneks (talk) 00:05, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

First sentence
First sentence needs to be rewritten to point out the function of the organization rather than its origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.9.185.185 (talk) 21:30, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I've changed the first sentence as recommended. --Euxneks (talk) 17:36, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
