For karate students, please download the latest edition of the Student Handbook for reference in your practice. Note that this manual is for the karate program only. For jo and sword manuals, contact me directly.
I recommend the following resources if you'd like further reading about martial arts history and practice. They will give a fine budo overview from the perspective of various exceptional budoka.
