I believe honoluludesktop was one of Kiyohisa Hirano's first karate students in Hawaii. He had posted some video of Hirano and also of Shiomitsu workshops.

Re: Non-white Gis
I was merely using our dojo ceremony and Hirano's words as examples, not trying to imply hating anything. Hirano used that as an example of his understanding of human nature.

Re: Training
That's an interesting approach Monkey mind; I might steal it. I already find myself going wide around corners though or practicing my balance on the bus by standing, that get's a weird look from the bus driver when I am the only person on the bus beside him/her.

Re: Klemola's 36 Kumite Gata's e-book
Not to comment about the content of Klemola's work - as I haven't trained Kumite Gata (officially), but does anyone know where/who he learnt it from? Gary A quote from page "x" of the book: " This book is a reconstruction of Hironori Ohtsuga’s genious method based on the authors rese...

Re: Klemola's 36 Kumite Gata's e-book
I understand that, Gusei. I was trying to answer the question of where it came from. A quote from the very first paragraph in the download: "You cannot understand the most subtle techniques thorough the book alone. You have to find a teacher who can show you." To further understand how Mr....
