Shobukan Karate - Old School Karate

In 'Moving Forward' I share my 'Old School' Karate journey from Andalusia, Spain to the Appalachain Mountains of western North Carolina & East Tennessee. I recount the training as I was introduced to Okinawan Shoubukan Karate. Running barefoot on hot pavement, my classmates were all Marines and Sailors, each training class was 2+ hours long, and all of the class kumite sparring was all bareknuckle with groin kicks, takedowns, and sweeps. An awesome experience.  This journey began in 1980 and I share it all in this book.  

I share how my Life's achievements and success are based upon all I learned in my 'Old School' Karate training.  An experience that is hard to find in today's world.  This book is for two types of people; first it will resonate and be an eye opener for a Karateka, second it is for anyone who wants to learn how to overcome challenge, develop long term resiliency, and build a mind that is always looking to improve.

I hope you enjoy the book.  Check out the reviews.
