About The Author

Hi, my name is David Oddy and I've been a student of karate since 1984 and a member of Jundokan, Okinawa since 1990. In that time, I've had the terrific opportunity to train with some of the most experienced karate-ka in the world and over the years, I've compiled the lessons I've learned into this study guide.

In the process of researching this guide, I interviewed several prominent experts in the field and discovered that the content of these interviews alone also has tremendous value.

So what started out as a small project for the benefit of my small non-commercial karate school has ended up as an extensive resource collection for internet users the world over.

I hope you enjoy what you find on this site - I trust you will find it of great value!
