We have a bunch of topics, from more Japanification of Karate, Judo Buyo, our condolences to a warrior, to the great quote of Sosai, "The heart of our karate is real fighting. There can be no proof without real fighting. Without proof there is no trust. Without trust there is no respect. This is a definition in the world of martial arts."
