We are a Research Society.​ We do not award dan certificates or Budo honorary titles. We appreciate all other karate schools. We want to keep politics out of our activities. 

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? ​

• Membership certificate
• ISRS Patch
• Collaboration on the book "The 13 Kata from Karatedo Daihokan
• First reader: Annually a preview chapter from the book "The Shudokan Encyclopedia - The Kata Book".
• Annually a further digital or analog surprise around the Karatedo of Toyama Kanken
• ZOOM Lectures
• Free participation in the annual Austrian Shudokan Gasshuku in August in the Carinthian mountains

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: 

​ZOOM LECTURES 2022

​​In the framework of the Research Society, I will continue the  lecture cycle in January 2022. 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. The dates and the ZOOM links will be published in time. The dates for the lectures:

• January 15, 2022: KATA - Our current understanding (ENGLISH)
• March 27, 2022: The history of YAKUSOKU KUMITE between 1905 and 1960 (Christian Puch Sensei, GERMAN)
• April 24, 2022: KATA - Our current understanding (GERMAN)
• May 22, 2022:  The PASSAI KATA of Shudokan - An Analysis ​(GERMAN)
• September 25, 2022: SHU HA RI - The Learning Stages to Mastery (GERMAN)

​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.
