If you're looking for some lost underground art, you're going to be disappointed. The "Kosen Judo" you speak of is, in all honesty, simply Judo. The only difference is that the focus was more on newaza.
There is actually going to be a Judo Newaza tournament at the The PanAmerican Masters tournament this November in Mass.
