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

Category : Japan

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.
