December 13, 200619 yr Author Yes he was fantastic, he used to scare us kids! I remember being bullied at school by a lad that trained with us and Jack went and had words with him lol. I remember we had to sweep the dojo up first. My sensei's live near him now, sensei dave grice, and sensei mike moores. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
December 14, 200619 yr It wasn't just the kids who were scared of him. I found a magazine which profiled him. It's from 1969 but they want £150 for it! Can't think how they justify that. Maybe I'll strike lucky and find some kind soul who has it so I can take a trip down memory lane.http://data.pointclark.net/budopromotions/estore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_29&products_id=220
December 14, 200619 yr Author Wow G-man i would love to buy that, but im in agreement with you, don't know how they can justify that! I'll have to go on the hunt lol Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
December 15, 200619 yr The fact that it actually holds some intrinsic value to so many MAist is why they justify the price of that thing. I would be willing to bet that there are some old Black Belt Magazines in the archives that would go for similar prices. It would be cool to have, though! https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
December 15, 200619 yr Author Well i have to admit Brian, if i had £150 i would buy it! Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
December 16, 200619 yr Well i have to admit Brian, if i had £150 i would buy it!You and me both! https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
December 18, 200619 yr I asked the company if the price was a typo. They replied saying that it wasn't, and that they had sold an early Fghting Arts International magazine for over £1,000. I can only conclude that I'm in the wrong job!But then, if I had £150 to blow the 'profile' I seek may turn out to be only ten sentences.
December 18, 200619 yr Author Do you know the publisher of the mag? Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
December 19, 200619 yr Do you know the publisher of the mag?Sorry I dont. I'm wondering if it was later merged with another magazine called 'Oriental Arts' because I remember buying a magazine called 'Karate and Oriental Arts' in the 70s. That was published by Paul H Crompton who also published some of Sensei Kanazawa's early kata books (which I still have).
