Read the Shorin-Ryu Karate USA 30th Anniversary Commemorative Journal

In anticipation of the production of the Shorin-Ryu Karate USA 50th Anniversary Commemorative Journal we should all reread or read for the first time the Shorin-Ryu Karate USA 30th Anniversary Commemorative Journal. This book is not only filled with pictures of Master Ueshiro and your Sensei from 20 years ago, but it also has well written articles. You can have fun trying to figure out the authors of these literary pieces. If you do not have a copy and have never read the journal ask one of your Sensei or Sempai to borrow it. Or you can read the entire journal on line by visiting: http://www.midtownkaratedojo.com/Journal30.html

Some of my personal favorite articles include: An Interview with "Grand Master Ansei Ueshiro," "Moving Zen - The Traditions Of Karate And Zen," "Mae-Geri," "Kata Power," "Kara – The Emptiness," and "Karate And Physics." Avail yourself to this journal and all of the articles, stories, poems, art work, and pictures. As Hanshi would say, “It is gold.”
