When the small group of foreign students began to attend his Saturday seminar in Tokyo, Sensei asked for our help in editing his English translations. Following are 36 of the chapters that I completed with him over the six years from 1978 to 1983. WIth the exception of Chapter 22 – Bussho (edited by Jeff Bailey and included below), the other chapters completed by Jeff Bailey and Larry Zacchi are no longer available. These translations are more interpretive than the later translations that he made with Mike Cross, and therefore not as close to the original Japanese. Nishijima Roshi used these chapters as the basis for his Saturday lectures in Tokyo until the later translation started to be completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
