Hi everyone
Looking to start Ashihara Karate properly after being into boxing most my life and then dabbling with MMA, I was introduced to Ashihara Karate.
I am searching for any books/pdfs/Avi files but to limited success.
I can’t afford the prices that the original Ashihara books are goin for and they are few and far between!
Any one with any information or links or has a copy for sale that would be great.
Love this site and the members are genuinely helpful so any info is much appreciated !

In the dojo
There is/was an online program available from a gentleman from South Africa, I believe. There was talk about it in the now defunct kyokushin4life forum.

As for the price of Ashihara books, I haven’t looked into them personally, but I’d expect a pretty high price. They weren’t printed for very long, Ashihara is a legend within the knockdown community, and he passed away goin on 24 years ago. His stuff is going to be highly collectible.

Ah might have been Hoosain Narker's: My Karate Odyssey?

Or I remember there was a free book pdf that was on there too, it was something like Power Karate or something...

Ah I miss kyokushin4life hehe..

Osu, it was definitely Kaicho Hoosain Narker from South Africa. I remember him well from Kyokushin4life. I've seen some of his instructional videos. Interesting. I do not believe he has any schools in NA. Ashihara is not that big here. There are more Enshin schools here as Shihan Ninomiya lives in the US. I believe his son is still competing as well. Enshin is close to what you can expect from Ashihara. Similar concepts.
