Shukokai Karate Basic Combinations
I've added a pdf document of these traditional shukokai karate basic combinations to karate resources.
I took these a few years ago with a digital camera with no sports option.
As you can imagine it was sore keeping the leg out there like that on the kicks.
And feel free to find the radiator annoying. I know I do.

It's been a fair while since my last update.
I've been pretty busy with my beautiful wee baby boy Andrew who was born in June.
I'll start posting up stuff on a more regular basis now though. Promise :)
I'll start with a page on Japanese Terminology.

At last! I've added the Gallery.
Mostly old photos at the moment. And all, unfortunately, feature me.
Hope that you enjoy them and feel free to drop me a line if you have any issues viewing them.

Looks like I am on a roll tonight.
I've added another page in karate resources. This time it's an article and translation by Joe Swift of Mabuni Kenwa's Karatedo Nyumon.
Hope that you enjoy it and feel free to drop me a mail with comments and suggestions.

I'd like to present another one for you.
I've added another excerpt from an old book I own called Karatedo Taikan. The book was published in 1938 and compiled by Nakasone Genwa. This bit has Mabuni Kenwa performing the Sochin form.
Hope that you enjoy it and feel free to drop me a mail with comments and suggestions.

I'd like to start this year with a wee gem.
I've added excerpts from a rare book from the 70's to the karate section that details the performance of the Koryu or Oyadomari Passai form.
Hope that you enjoy it.
More coming soon!

A Phoenix arises from the ashes of what was once my club website!
Have a Merry Christmas and I'll look forward to really kicking this off in the New Year.
Once the hangover clears up that is.
All the very best!
