Pardon the confusion. Not my intent. Definately do not want to put nationality or race in the discussion. Hopefully, to tone down any confusion, I'll take your response in 2 parts:
1. ....have your read or heard anything first-hand that leads you to believe he limits what he will teach.....?
As for this section: I've heard and read a lot about what Sensei Hatsumi will and will not teach. Both from his own writings and all over the web. If I could find a dojo that teaches, as its core, Togakure Ryu Ninpo, Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo or Gyokushin Ryu Ninpo, I would not hesitate to enroll (if DRN didn't exist). But, outside of Japan, I couldn't find a school that teaches any of these 3 Ruy-ha as a core element.
2. ......according to nationality or race?
.....
Don't think it has anything to do with race or other anything having to do with nationality. The 3 schools are property of Sensei Hatsumi. He can do with them as he pleases as passed to him from Mr. T.. If he is more confortable with these 3 schools (more like the entire 9) selectively taught privately, so be it.
Do you know anyone in the US that has an authorized school teaching any of the 3 Ninpo/Ninjutsu Ryu listed above? Not part of another school, not part of Bujinkan, but, Pure Toga, Kumo or Gyo?
