yoshukan karate

Earl Robertson, head of Yoshukan Karate, has posted another of his fine Zanshin newsletters. In it recounts his colourful early days in karate, as well as his training in Kumamoto, Japan, with Masaru Inomoto, who has impressive credentials: a master of Chito-Ryu karate, Japanese swordsmanship, Okinawan kobudo (weaponry) and bayonet fighting.
