For a free list of recommended books on Zen, Yoga philosophy, Taoism, metaphysics, the real hidden meanings behind biblical and Christian beliefs, e-mail to sensei10@netzero.com.
For books on Yoga philosophy, with masters I have studied, I recommend: www.gitawalkthrough.com and www.crystalclarity.com . Of course, many, many more books are on my book list.
Dojo Sparring Rules: Because we have had alot of questions about our national hombu headquarters dojo, go to : www.alljapankaratedojo.com. We now have sparring rules available by postal mail. They have been in development since 1955, and were a first template for A.A.K.F. (1963) and later for the International Traditional Karate Federation (1975) World Tournament in Los Angeles, California. They were again used in the 1977 American martial arts in Japan. Master Skornia personally attended both as an official.
www.americanmartialartsinc.com site and the corporation name (for 40 years)are available for purchase to a serious entity for quality American martial arts and Oriental philosophy. The school and corporation are well known and one of the oldest dojos in America since 1955. I will consider offers above $25,000 for a high quality, reliable buyer to carry on the mission of true martial arts.
I accept mail or emails, September through June. The headquarters is closed July and August, when I am on my annual Zen retreat which I have not missed in 50 years. 2012 is my Golden Anniversary - 50 years of professional teaching.
Truth Through Open-Mindedness,
