Resources
I wasn't planning on putting much of the material from the old website on this new release (And in case you were
wondering, someone bought out the old domain name, "akutagawakarate.com", and wouldn't release it without a substantial
amount of money. But that's okay - I like "victorykarate.com" better!). Most of the old website content was just my
"expression of war", a combination of my 3rd Degree Black Belt Thesis ("Martial Arts and Christianity") and my thought
process as I conducted my research.
However, many of you have requested it be available as an encouragement and resource to you and many others as you
train. So it is with thanks to you that I present this material once again:

Faith & Fitness Magazine, June/July 2005
"...After being told no, an argument ensued, which then escalated into a
full-on fight right in the middle of the gym, and ended with one of the guys being knocked unconscious... What is really
going on here?"

"Don't sweat it when others lose their cool, part 2",
Faith & Fitness Magazine, August/September 2005
"...to top it all off, the entire last page was full of incidents and
quotes involving him and his anger, all documented by the other players and put together by the new coach. So what was
John to do?"

May God bless you abundantly through your training.
