I'm a very fresh (9. kyu) student of wado-ryu karate-do. I really
enjoy it. 

I'm wondering if anyone else out there is practicing wado-ryu? I have
the impression that wado-ryu is not very common.

Now for my questions:

Question 1: Books about wado-ryu karate-do.

   I have tried to find books in english about wado-ryu, but there seems
   to be none available. I found one book:
    		 An introduction to Wado-Ryu karate      / Patterson, Cecil T.     1974
   But it's no longer available from the publishers.
   
   Is there anyone who could buy this book for me or would be willing to
   sell me their own copy? 
   
   Anyone who knows of other books? I know about another French one, but
   it's of no use for me since i cannot read French.
   
Question 2: Old books about karate-do (or related arts).

   Does anyone know about karate books written before 1950? Are there any
   reprints available? What books exist?

Question 3: How does one react when being attacked? )

   I and some of my fellow students were discussing how one reacts when
   being attacked. Since no one of us has been in that situation (lucky
   us), our thougths were only speculations. I'd like to hear stories
   from someone who has been attacked.  How did you react? Were you able
   to defend yourself? Were you aware of what you did? Did you think
   before acting? 

   I think it might be useful for me and my fellow students to hear your
   stories.


Please post directly to me ( Eskil.brun@HRP.No ) and I'll make a
summary and post it back to rec.martial-arts.

This is a lot to ask for my first posting, so I'll include a list of
280 books I found when looking for wado-ryu books.

Thank you all for reading this.
