Hello,

First of all thank you very much to those of you who purchased a copy already. Please feel free to send me an e-mail if you have questions after reading my book: gibukai[at]gmx.de

I also opened a little webpage in English, where I will publish news etc. related to the book:

Because I received a couple of inquiries from German readers, I also would like to add here that “Scouting Out” doesn’t contain any material that is not already published in my three German works.

Regards,

Henning Wittwer

Hello,

I do not want to open a new theme.

I am happy to announce that my second English book came out today. Its title is “Funakoshi Gichin & Funakoshi Yoshitaka: Two Karate Masters”. I wrote it as an introduction into the history of karate. Notwithstanding it contains material not published in English before. One part includes my complete translation of a biography of Funakoshi Gichin as well as his son, Funakoshi Yoshitaka, written by one of their students while Funakoshi was still alive.

The book has 107 pages and 25 historic photos (explained by me).

You can order it directly from the publisher: https://www.createspace.com/5782478

Alternatively it is available at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1517675243?keywords=funakoshi&qid=1444126804&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1

If you have questions after reading it please feel free to ask me here in the forum or via e-mail …

Regards,
