Foreword

I am pleased to be able to write this Foreword to Robin Rielly's book. Mr. Rielly received his early training in the martial arts in Japan and then became my student upon his return to the United States. His experiences in Japan gave him an interest in Japanese culture that has persisted to the present day. He belongs to a highly select group of American karate-ka who have been training for over twenty years in the martial arts. It is upon men such as him that we depend for passing on true karate to the Western world.
