Having grown up on and around dartmoor, i have always been fascinated by the ancient stones and places doted around the area. As i grew older and moved away from the area, the fascination stayed with me. These days i am never happier than when out in some field looking for some ancient site, or climbing some ancient hillside and just looking at the landscape - trying to remove the modern infringements with my minds-eye, to reveal the landscape of the mother beneath it.
I now live in Brighton, co-run a small record label ( www.sonictonic.co.uk ) and spend much of my time exploring the landscape and training in a particularly old form of martial art - Ninpo - which it turns out has many of it's roots firmly placed in the neolithic (and before!) landscape of these isles (and particularly ireland). For an example, many of the spiral carvings and glyphs to be found inside many of the burial mounds - especially in ireland - which have confounded archaeologists for years (not hard to do with a lot of them!) are well known to the Amatsu Tatara tradition.
Formerly the teachings of this tradition where completely secret, and known only to a very few Grandmasters in Japan, but these teachings are starting to be brought into the open in the hope that they can be kept alive. If you want to find out more about this - visit a website i have designed which will be launched late DEC 2002CE and check the "training systems" menu.
Or search the web for Amatsu Tatara - although i'm not sure how much you will find...
that's all for now...
