@@jezah8142 No, they are not. This branch (known as Tobukan) split from the mainline in the late 1800s, Markus' group (Otsuka-Ha) claims the name of the Chiba dojo (the old mainline) because his teacher established a communication with their family representative, but in reality, mainline was already dead at the time and their family representative never trained in Hokushin Itto Ryu. Their teachings come from another group (known as Genbukan) that split from the old mainline in the early 1900s.
