So, years later, I found the author´s two books ´Sabaki Method´ and ´My Journey in Karate´. I was only going to get ´Sabaki Method´ for technical research and learning -- but decided to get the auto-biography ´My Journey in Karate´ as well -- reckoning an Art and its Artist are not separate. I am now glad I got both books as they are both well-written, interesting and informative. Kancho Joko Ninomiya eventually, after years of intense effort, injury and failure, won the ´All-Japan Tournament´ in 1978 -- intense full-contact knock-down Karate allowing grappling. Kancho Joko Ninomiya is very strong in Sumo and Judo as well as full-contact Karate inspired by Ashihara from Mas Oyama. Kancho Joko Ninomiya is a wonderful exemplar of Karate-Do -- what it means to seek, find and walk a path of personal perfection thru an Art and its Way +++
