I wholeheartedly endorse this manuscript, especially since I have a direct interest in Dr. Chitose's karate (the system of karate-do that I study is direct from that of Chitose Sensei). However, I also recommend this book to anyone interested in Chito Ryu, or anyone interested in the traditional Japanese/Okinawan martial arts.
Please do not think that this is a shameless plug for a book; I have never met Mr. Johnston....I have only enjoyed his book and felt moved to offer a chance to you to make this purchase. You can order your book online at: http://www.ShindokanOnline.com

2. KungFu-Quigong magazine: Jul/Aug 2001
Article on Ngo Cho Kun (Five Ancestor Fist) Part 1 of 2.
Interesting and fairly accurate article by Jose Paman who studies in
Manila in the 70's (according to the article) However if you have Alexander
Lim Co's book on Ngo Cho Kun, you will not find much new info in
this article as most of the article comes directly from Sifu Co's book.
3. Saijutsu, by Katsumi Murakami: Tuttle publishing
2000
Well presented book and illustrations on Kihonkata (3) Tawada no Sai
Kata, Matsumura no Sai Kata, and a section on Katana vs. Sai. Also history
and origins of the kata and stories on Tawada and Matsumura; truth or fiction-don't
know, wasn't there- but a good read anyway.
4. The Feng Shui handbook by Lam Kam Chuen: Henry
Holt LLC 1996
Good beginners referance and learning tool, Details include history
and origins of Feng Shui, significance of Yin Yang, 5 energies, 5 animals,
and the eight trigrams. This book is very simple to understand and
packed with info. There may be better texts on Feng Shui, but for
me (as a know-nothing beginner) this is a great first book.
Yoroshiku,
Garry (betcha' didn't know ah culd read) Parker
