Book Description
"The Little Bubishi tells the story of karate and the amazing tales of its legendary masters in an enjoyable way that is intended for children. But the story is enjoyable for readers of all ages. The legends of Karate-Do are brought to life in its beautifully descriptive stories that tell of the heroics and steely determination that embody karate history. The peaceful philosophies behind this multi-layered martial art are too often overlooked, while its graphic fighting forms more often take center stage. Karate is explained simply, so children may gain a greater understanding of the true meaning and nature of Karate-Do"--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
Meet Dave Hazard. He is a world class martial artist--a 7th dan black belt in Shotokan Karate--who is as respected in the tough streets, bars, and clubs of the East End of London as he is in the top Karate dojo in Japan. His reputation is legendary. He has faced down many tough challenges as a street fighter but also as a mentor and teacher. As a member of the Great Britain karate team, Dave fought for his country against some of the world's leading martial artists in both formal competition and the highly dangerous and demanding sparring of the dojo, where no rules apply. Born into a harsh environment, Dave Hazard grew into a complex and extraordinary man. The ups and downs of his remarkable life prove he is truly a force to be reckoned with and a living embodiment of the power of the mind as well as the first. This is his humorous, insightful, inspiring, violent, and occasionally tragic story.
Karate Stupid

Pages : 0
Book Description
The Japanese Instructors' Course is infamous in the Karate world. In 1997 it had been running for 50 years, with less than one hundred people successfully completing it - only four of which had been non-Japanese. In the same year Scott Langley was at the top of his game, a third degree black belt, captain of the British JKS National Team and JKS European and World Champion. He moved to Japan with a secret plan - to be the fifth foreigner to complete the course. This is the true story of Scott's Journey, spanning five years, chronicling the highs and lows of facing karate's toughest challenge and how he learnt to survive and never give in. In Autumn 2013 Scott sent this book to his Sensei in Japan for their approval. They responded immediately declaring the book to be full of lies and misrepresentations of Japan and forbade him to publish it. He was suspended for a month and then affectively expelled in January 2014. Suddenly, his 30 year relationship with Japanese karate had abruptly come to an end. This had been major a part of his entire karate life and he had dedicated himself to its values and rules, running a karate organization in Ireland for over ten years. He never wanted to jeopardize his position or damage the reputation of the group. However, unfortunately, the sacrifices he made during this true story are nothing compared to the sacrifices he has had to make to publish it.

Book Description
A compelling and shocking story that is all the more effective because it is true. Born during the War and growing up in the post war years, the writer takes you on a journey that surprises and shocks. The loss of his young Father is the catalyst that leads the author as a young boy along a path of trauma and despair and into life as a reclusive introvert, unable to function on a normal day to day basis. The Mother re-marries with terrible consequences, and any hope for the future is dashed when the reader witnesses the virtual destruction of the author as a child, as the step Father emerges as a paedophile with a most surprising and awful background. The author grows into a wayward child and a disturbed teenager, making some terrible mistakes along the way. He emerges from this virtual psychological prison that contains him, and for the first time discovers enjoyment, enjoyment in music, Rock n Roll and the guitar. The music offers him an escape from his painful background and he struggles at every opportunity to learn to play the guitar and become more than just proficient. After secretly practising, improving and playing with various bands, he eventually travels the world in a band with a number one hit record. The author lurches from one success to another but it is not enough. His hunger for life is fuelled by working in more bands, hard drinking and experimenting with drugs. A crossroads is reached when there is a choice; music or karate. The karate was started as a conduit for his energy and his frustration with the music business. A decision is made and he diverts his energies from music into a totally new venture, starting karate classes and eventually gaining his Black Belt. A karate club is created almost accidentally, and the club goes from strength to strength producing champions and award winning teams. More clubs are started, and other clubs impressed by the dynamics and professionalism of the core clubs, successfully join the newly formed karate group - Shotokan Karate England. The book is a shocking testimonial to paedophilia but a brilliant testimonial to overcoming adversity and trauma in one's life. The story is one of determination not to be beaten, and inspiration can be taken by all of those who read this incredible but true story.
