Five more martial arts technique from the koryu school of Koto ryu have been added to the martial arts database. We expect several more years of repeating and improving before the conclusion of the Bujinkan curriculum in the Akban-wiki.
As for documenting other martial arts like Karate and various Kong fu schools that interest us, we think that this will be a decades long project.

Thanks to Birkhoff Gustavson in the technical dep. of Bifugi we now restored registration on the Akban’s martial arts web site. Thanks for the mails.

We are experiencing some problems in the registration system. As the Bifugi IT department is having a scheduled vacation, it might take us hours to sort this one out.
Sorry.
Meanwhile you can enjoy the information we have here for you – our martial arts friend.
Jason, thanks for being the first to report this bug.

The guys in Bifugi, headed by Keith Harris, worked day and night to finish Vadim Gilead’s vision for the new Akban martial arts journal.
Gaby Frishlander from niradin did the final graphics and design. Kodos guys.

We haven’t been writing for the journal in the last weeks because of the wiki work.
But we’ll be right back…
