Shukokai World Karate Union
BIBLIOGRAPHY

I started gathering material on karate for a school project and ended with this site. I felt there was a gap to help those that was in my position to get information without having to spend months researching from book to book to information highway.

If there is anything on this site that you think might belong to you and you are not happy about it, please let me know, I have tried to note down all the places and books where I got information from, but I could have missed you.

Karate is such a wonderful art/sport, that I would like to share it with everybody that are interested, and if there is something that you would like to see here and you cannot find it or you have anything to add, contact me.
