What can you expect in the Research Society? What is the added value for your personal Karatedo? What advantages do you have as a member? What do you get for your money?

The collaborative research work is particularly important to me. Until September 2022 the work on the book "The 13 Kata from Karatedo Daihokan" is on the agenda. The members will receive a chapter of the book every three months and can contribute in many different ways. How can you help?
- You are just observing the creation of the book and do not actively participate. That is perfectly OK.
- You help actively to expand the draft document: You are from the Toyama lineage and can bring in special knowledge, you help to translate into another language, you help with phrasing and spelling, you have your own knowledge about the kata and bring it in ... There are lots of possibilities.
All members of the Research Society are mentioned in the book as supporters of the project. Those members of the Research Society who are actively involved in the development process are listed as co-authors.
There are many other activities apart from the joint book project:
SHUDOKAN TRAINING CAMP IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
With like-minded teachers I would like to organize a three-day "Toyama-Karate" training camp in the USA in autumn 2021. Countless people have already contacted me. In January 2021 I will publish more information about WHEN and WHERE. If someone is willing to participate in the organizing committee or wants to make his dojo available, please contact me.
ZOOM LECTURES
In the framework of the Research Society, I will start a one-year lecture cycle in German at the end of December. The sportive interpretation of karate is now enthusiastically practiced worldwide. The tradition, history and philosophy of martial arts are often no longer known to the practitioners. However, these aspects are an important part of karatedo. A part of the lectures will deal with the history of my school of origin. I will talk about the Okinawan karate expert Toyama Kanken, his "secret techniques" and his student Ichikawa Isao. In April there will be a lecture on my book about the "Seven Kata of the Rising Sun". A separate kata cycle is planned. In February Christian Puch Sensei starts with the kata Chinto and Chinte. In the lecture he will share his knowledge about these two Kata with us. In addition, 2021 the topics kata in general and the tradition of karatedo will be treated. In December 2021 we close the annual circle with a discussion round. It is quite conceivable that further dates and guest speakers will be added. The dates and the ZOOM links will be published in time. If you are interested, I will also hold the lectures in English. The dates for the German lectures:
- 20.12.2020, Toyama Kanken - The forgotten pioneer
- 28.02.2021, Kata cycle I: Analysis of Chinto and Chinte
- 21.03.2021, My present understanding of kata
- 18.04.2021, Kyoku - The Seven Kata of the Rising Sun
- 20.06.2021, What is traditional karatedo?

Video projects
I more countless DVDs and video cassettes with old recordings of students of Toyama Kanken. In the next few years, I will edit them and make a selection of them available to the members.
With great enthusiasm and joy I stand behind the project of the International Shudokan Research Society. I would like to share my collected knowledge with YOU. I would like my input to be an enrichment for your karatedo path. I want the Research Society to help and motivate YOU to take a step out of the box and see what there is to learn in philosophy, history and kata analysis.
My goal: The Research Society should be an absolute & MEGA added value for you.
I am at your disposal for questions about the history of Shudokan and for other concerns.
