The profound knowledge of old bugei by Luigi Carniel, his genuine desire to transmit unchanged the legacy received from his great Masters, his extensive martial expertise, ranging from Aikijujutsu to Katori Shinto Ryu, from Wado Ryu Karate to Gyokushin Ryu Jujutsu, and including the forging and polishing of the Japanese sword, cannot help but inspire.
As Carniel Sensei often emphasises, this ancient knowledge holds the value of a long chain initiated centuries ago, rooted in the history of the samurai class itself. His task is to contribute to forming the subsequent, sturdy links that will allow this legacy to be passed on, unchanged, to future generations.
“The Iconoclast,” a title earned by Luigi Carniel for his tendency to express what he thinks without holding back, is a text that informs and captivates.
