The Shotokan Dawn Supplement by Clive Layton (Paperback, 2007)
30 May, 2022
A great addition to Shotokan Karate history books
During the printing process of the two volumes of Dr. Clive Layton’s Shotokan Dawn, a large box with pictures, federation paperwork and letters was uncovered by the founder of the British Karate Federation, Sensei Vernon Bell. As a result, this supplement book was created to accompany and correct the other two. Unlike the two volumes, it cannot be read by itself as it refers to paragraphs and lines of the two original volumes, enhancing and correcting each volume respectively. The book is split into two sections, a postscript and an appendix section. The first section provides the supplement to Vol.1. We see additional information on the Senseis Mochizuki, Hoang Nam and Murakami from the Yoseikan Karate style, Sensei Bell’s B.K.F. work, his interaction with students through his letters and records of members. We see Sensei Harada’s extremely basic training with one full hour of Oi Zuki practice, fifteen minutes of Uke and half an hour of Taikyoku Shodan Kata! A nice example to give to any student who complains of repetitive training nowadays. Another interesting point is the J.K.A./B.K.F. curriculum from 8th to 5th Kyu during the 60s era, we can see the difference with the current requirements for karateka. The second part unearths a lot of data on the Scottish Karate scene, through Sensei Mcguire’s relation with Sensei Bell and Sensei Kanazawa’s first arrival in Dundee. The German version of the J.K.A. (known then and today as the D.J.K.B.) is mentioned frequently, presenting its struggle during its formation by Sensei Lothar Fisher. Amusing stories are once more present, which show the odd characters who trained at the time, as well as further insight into the lives of famous Senseis. Namely the S.A.S. (Special Air Service in England) “Grenade-dare prank” during Karate training, Sensei Enoeda’s train stories and Sensei Kanazawa’s telepathy attempt at a blind person. The postscript deals with the passing of several known Senseis, who were mentioned in the Shotokan dawn volumes, during the time of publication. The appendices show the data collected from the B.K.F. archives (dealing with social class, age, education of trainees among others) in bar graph form. This is very interesting as one can reach several conclusions from them in a quick glance. Concluding, this is a real collector’s book, with rare information on the beginning of Shotokan Karate in England and Europe in general. Similar information can only be found in bits and pieces, from magazines of this era, which are very hard to find though. As the author claims, the data presented in the three Shotokan Dawn books uncovers approximately 30% of all early Shotokan history in Europe. The book is available through the publisher/Martial arts bookstore Mona books for a great price.
