| | Kano and Kata: Reply to Geof Gleeson by Steven R. Cunningham |
 | | He argues that Kano's success in the early years was more a result of fortu-nate sponsorship, politics, and timing, and less a result of Kano's particular efforts or talents. |
 | | In reality, Kano was not on "Easy Street," but was a person driven by his love for martial arts, who was applying all of his considerable talents and skills toward pursuing his dream. |
 | | Gleeson hints that Kano's continued successes, his position at the Gakushuin, his 1888 appointment as its Vice Principal, his government position, and his appointment as Principal of the Shihan Gakko, were all politically motivated. |
