There will be people that read this account of our history and say that I left out things.
I do not doubt that I have not included every word that was spoken or every event that
took place. But, I sifted through the memories and memorabilia and found the true
and positive facts about how Yoshu-Kai karate came to the United States.
Some people may ask if things were always "happy and positive". I might ask if anything
comes without at least a little strife? But, the struggle did not totally define our
karate or our relationship. It is true that throughout the years there have been times
that we, the founders of Yoshu-Kai karate in America, have disagreed - such is human nature.
But, before Yuki Koda's death, we concluded that we should always be the deepest of friends.
