Books
I read many books a year. So it is hard to say, the subjects are all over the place. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was, “Read outside your industry.” A few of the books I have written are: The Way of Sanchin Kata; The Application of Power. The Way of Kata. co-authored with L.A. Kane. Also, Lessons from the Dojo Floor. All available for Amazon.comHeroes
I don’t really have heroes I have people the have qualities that I admire like Winston Churchill, Stonewall Jackson, Mother Theresa, St. Anthony, Padre Pio, and a lot of people around the world that quietly go about the business of doing the right thing, even when it is the hardest choice.

About me:
Based in Seattle I teach Goju-Ryu Karate primarily but also teach Kobudo and Judo at our dojo, the West Seattle Karate Academy. Tae Kwon Do was the first art I trained in starting at age 15. (1976) Goju-Ryu followed later as with Judo. Having traveled to other countries to teach and to learn (Asia, Europe, and North America) I have found that karate and the martial arts in general serves as an international passport to some of the greatest people I have ever met. I wish everybody in the arts to be as fortunate as I have been in my training, teaching, and making new friends across the world.The West Seattle Karate Academy Website is www.WestSeattleKarate.com
Who I'd like to meet:
Any Time in History? Boadicea, Dick Cavett, Hannibal Barca, Eric Hoffer, Little Turtle, Stonewall Jackson, Annie Oakley, Mary, Richard Nixon, St. Anthony of the Desert, Orson Wells, Tommy Bolin, Magellan, Plato, Aristotle, Buddy Hackett, Tesla, Rod Serling, Ray Nitschke, Johnny Winter, the author of "Q", Jimmy Stewart, Dennis Miller, Padre Pio, Thomas Merton.Details

Jonathan Bynoe Thanks for accepting my friend invite. I read your book The Way of Sanchin Kata and it is a very informative book. I look forward to reading Way of Kata, I read some excerpts of it from Jissen Magazine. I performed Sanchin kata in my Black Belt Grading, my disappointment was that my Sensei didn't make me take my gi top off and perform it the traditional way that Goju-ryu practitioners do in order to show the tension in the muscles. LOL. Hope we keep in touch, Jonathan PS check out the website for my school www.durhammartialarts.com

I feel a rip in the continuum, Marc “Animal" MacYoung, is on
his way to Seattle… Knives baby, knives. Saturday the 26th.
Got to wake up late, and now I get to putter about doing the odds and sods of human existence at an easy pace.
I HONOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP...
