Dear Soncho,
Welcome to the forums!
May I know why you are giving up so many of your exclusive collection including your dojo Taiko?

OSU!

Soncho - welcome to K4L. Sorry that your posts disappeared briefly. We have very strict rules about advertising on K4L, so your posts needed to be considered by the moderators, regarding whether they were within the guidelines of acceptable advertising.

I have put this one post back into buy, sell, trade, as that is the appropriate forum for it. The identical post that was in another forum has been removed - it is our experience that it is much better to have a single post, so all responses are consolidated into one place. It gets too confusing otherwise.

Anyway - welcome to K4L. Hope you enjoy your stay with us. Why not start a thread in the introductions forum, and tell us about yourself...for example, why you have all this great stuff, and why you want to sell it. (if you would like to share that information).

Welcome aboard.

[Soncho]

Thank you for the welcome!

[Soncho]

After 24 years I am through with karate! After sitting on them (books) in boxes it is time to sell them and try to re-coup some money!

Osu!

OSU! Soncho. Welcome to the forums. From another thread I heard that you are done with karate.
I never like to see anyone go, but It's all your choice. I only hope karate has greatly benefeted you with the 24 years you were in it.

A great selection you have. I would love to add it to my libarary but I don't have the money right now. OSU!

how do we purchas a book if interested.

[koji112091]

I guess you email him.

[Soncho]

Kyokushin has moulded me into a fine person both inside and out. Thank you, osu!

[Soncho]

If you are interested please email me at soncho@shaw.ca Osu! There was a thread about me not doing karate anymore?

[seienchin]

I think a number of us saw your materials advertised in anohter forum (ie, a totally different site, not here), and I think you gave some reasons there, if you are the same person.

Hang around here for a while. You will find that the passion about karate and the absence of politics is mannah for the weary kyokushin veteran soul!.

[Soncho]

Thank you seiechin, osu! I think I will... Books are still for sale though

[elsabra]

i hope i'm not too late for buying some books...

soncho do you mind sharing your story with us? just by seeing your books list i guess you are \ were a serious karateka... so why to drop everything now???

Yes, its Stephen. I've sent you an e-mail to check up on you but i figured you might be on here a bit more.

I have been having frequent flashbacks to Kyokushin, and i really miss it. I've been trying to find you lately and i finally did.

Now to cut to the chase:

I remember seeing most of your books at the Dojo back in dawson. I will be more then will to buy some to get them off of your hands. But seeming on how i canno't remember then you'll have to give me a few reccomendations :P


P.S. I would have to say that my favorite overall experience with Kyokushin was my fist Adult grading, and the large Kumite portion of my grading for my Roku kyu
