To my Dad, Warren Kenji Suenaka, who was the first teacher in my life. He was always there for me with care and support. He taught me the meaning of life, and how to be a survivor.

To the most wonderful girl in my life, my wife, Kanako. My guardian angel, she was always at my side through thick and thin. She taught me the meaning of true love. Also to our children, Valerie and John, and my energetic grandson, Atao, for their loyalty, total commitment, strength and love. You are my closest friends.

To Michael A. DeMarco, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Asian Martial Arts, for publishing our first major magazine article, and for his support in providing the resources and opportunity leading to the publication of this book.

Lastly, but not least, my deepest appreciation to Mark Wiley and his staff at Charles E. Tuttle, Co. (in my opinion, the authoritative martial arts publisher) for his enthusiastic work in making this book a reality.

For their early support and belief, well-deserved thanks go to editor Mark Wiley at Charles E. Tuttle, Co., and Michael DeMarco, publisher of the excellent Journal of Asian Martial Arts.
