Great website. I would like to wish all the members of Shti-Ryu my best wishes for 2007. Yours Aniket Gupta Chief Instructoe (Maharashtra-State-INDIA)

Dear Sirs, I am training in a style called Shika Do Karate, in Dublin Ireland. Many years ago as a child, I used to train in Shito Ryu and recall a series of 1 � 20 Yakosuku, taught as part of the grading Syllabus of Shito-Ryu Itosu-Kai, under the direction of a Canadian Karate organisation. Since training in Shito Ryu I have trained mainly in Shotokan and the Yakosuku did not form part of the syllabus I subsequently learned in other styles. Although I have long since forgotten the Yakosuku, I would like to teach them to some of the children in my club. I am looking for a source with the 20 yakosuku that are taught in Shito Ryu. I don�t know if it is part of your syllabus. I would be very much obliged if you would be able to point me in the correct direction as to whether there is any text book or DVD containing them? Then I could start a hunt for the relevant book or dvd online from one of the sites. I appreciate it is a bit of a pain in the neck to get this type of email. So I am thanking you in advance for any trouble you go to in responding to it. Many thanks, Cahir O�Higgins

we are more than the word happy to part of the union as a country.thanks to sensai eric tomlison chief instuctor usa.

Thank you Master for an informative site
