Probbaly the best reference of all for the background and philosophy of our Kempo lies in the book 'The Bodhisattva Warriors' by Shifu Nagaboshi.

The dojo regularly prints its own newsheet which is given out to members as well as the Journal. This includeds articles and essays by students and teachers from Okinawa, China and Europe. We also include reprints of items taken from the 'Journal of Mushindo Studies' which is only issued to senior instructors.
Our club has a large library of reference books, including all the usual karate ones etc but those of most use to proper students are the ones created by our own members over the years. As we have several Doctors in our group we also run special healing classes using the methods and techniques of natural medicine and herbalism. There is also a section for treating animals. Various research projects and studies using these methods over the years have been written up in our dojo journals.
