So pleased to hear that the publisher, North Atlantic Books, is coming out with a second printing of my first book, The Kata and Bunkai of Goju-Ryu Karate. I guess that means somebody’s reading it...or someone is buying them all to suppress my heretical ideas...or some speculator is buying them all to make a killing when the book is out of print.
