The groundbreaking words of Toyama Kanken (1888-1966) are presented here for the first time ever in English. Toyama Kanken was the assistant instructor of Itosu Ankou Sensei, who first brought Karate out from under the veil of secrecy in Okinawa. One of only three known masters to have studied under both Itosu Ankou and Higashionna Kanryo, he is an unsung hero of the ancient martial arts. Ever diligent, Toyama Sensei continued his martial arts education by studying the inter related martial arts of Taiwan, then opened his dojo called the “Shudokan” after returning to Tokyo, Japan in 1931. His expertise and prestige has influenced countless martial artists and directly contributed to the founding of several important divergent styles. From among the ranks of Toyama Sensei's Shudokan and its affiliated dojos sprang masters of Shudokan, Doshinkan, Yoshinkan, Keishinkan, Koeikan, Hakushinkai, Tsuchiya-ryu, Toyama Ryu, Renbukan, Shito-ryu, Shotokan, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, and many others. His first hand knowledge of the grandfathers of Karate is unprecedented and will surely deepen the understanding of any serious Karate student.
