48 techniques
This chapter is inspired by ancient okinawan manuscript – Bubishi. This doesnt mean that I will demonstrate exatly 48 techniques. Title is same as title of similar chapter in Bubishi. Goal of this article is to show wide diversity of karate techniques – strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws, chokes and holds. Furthermore, if we only analyze one technique, there are many variations depending of style, tradition or teachers point of view. Here is my point of view, based on many years of practice, research and seminars. I will recommend to you all to read Bubishi and Funakoshi’s Tote jutsu. It is also very useful to see some video tapes as Chin Na, Okinawa Karate, Goju ryu, Ryueryu and Okinawan karate masters.

Interview with Hohan Soken
The date of the interview was September 10, 1978. The interview was conducted in Spanish to the great annoyance of Kise. Soken spoke excellent Spanish due to the fact that he had lived in Argentina for over twenty-five years. I should also make mentioned that I was a Spanish language translator for the Pentagon for two plus years and worked in Washington, D.C., hence, I am familiar with the language.
