McCarthy - Bible Of Karate Bubishi

Acknowledgments

The voluminous nature of my research has brought me into contact with virtually hundreds of people over the years. I would especially like to acknowledge the following people:

In America, I would like to thank my teacher Richard Kim, Hanshi of the Dai Nippon Butokukai. Through Mr. Kims continued efforts, patience, and perseverance, I ultimately came to perceive that which lies beyond the physical boundaries of karate-do.

In Taiwan, I am deeply grateful to Liu Songshan Shifu for sharing his family treasure with me, the Shaolin Bronze Man Book (Shaolin Tong Ren Bu).

In China, I am very grateful to Li Yiduan from the Fuzhou Wushu Association who, at my request, was able to gather several herb experts and gongfu masters to study and help translate the Bubishi. Resolving many of the grammatical errors in the Bubishi, Mr. Lis immeasurable contributions and support continue to be of enormous benefit to my research. I would also like to thank Colin Whitehead for supplying a copy of The Secrets of Wudang Boxing. I am also indebted to Xie Wenliang, White Crane gongfu master and great-grandson of Ryuru Ko, for sharing so much of his knowledge with me.

In Japan, I am grateful to the following: Konishi Takehiro Sensei of the Ryobukai, who provided me with an original copy of Mabuni Kenwas Bubishi; Ohtsuka Tadahiko Shihan, author of the Japanese translation of the Bubishi and a myriad of other related research projects, whose extensive analysis and deep knowledge of the Bubishi have had a profound effect upon my understanding of this obscure treatise; my friends, Fred Mende, John Wong, and Mitchell Ninomiya for their continuous support; Dr. Iokibei Tsutomu, an expert in the Chinese healing arts of acupuncture, herbal medicines, and qigong, who helped me decipher the mysteries surrounding the internal organs, their corresponding meridian channels, and vital points; and Alexander Kask for fundamentally revising and editing this presentation of the text.

In Okinawa, I am indebted to: Hokama Tetsuhiro Shihan, master of both Goju-ryu karate-do and kobu-jutsu and the curator of Okinawas only museum dedicated to the preservation and promotion of its native civil fighting heritage, for his many contributions and support; Naga-mine Shoshin Soke and his son Takayoshi Sensei, of Matsubayashi-ryu karate-do, for their considerable assistance; Professor Takara Kuraiyoshi, for his help with my research; Richard Florence, who was responsible for more than just protecting against my grammatical inadequacies and edited the early drafts of this text; and Tokashiki Iken, director of the Goju-ryu Tomari-te Karate-do Kyokai, for his continuing assistance.

In Canada, my thanks go out to my colleague and friend, Ken Low Shifu, president of the Canadian Chinese Kung Fu Association. Low Shifu helped me translate some of the Bubishis most enigmatic Chinese ideograms.

In Australia, I would like to express my appreciation to Carole Rogers for granting permission to use the illustrations from her Acupuncture Point Dynamics Manual and to Kevin Brennan of Australasian Fighting Arts for his assistance in publicizing my research.

In England, I would like to thank Harry Cook, Graham Noble, and Terry ONeill from Fighting Arts International magazine for their assistance in publicizing my research.

I would also like to thank my lovely wife, Yuriko, without whose endless patience, love, and support, this work would never have been made possible.

Finally, it is unfortunate that I am unable to appropriately extend my personal gratitude to all the others who assisted with this research; nonetheless, their assistance was very much appreciated, and I hope that this publication may reflect favorably upon them.
