At the top is a Japanese inscription that I cannot read.
He also has a oval patch sewen on the left brest of the jacket. Some photographs that accompany the article show Kresge in his gi with Uechi Ryu written vertically in black ink down the left lapel of his jacket. I wonder who signed his Uechi certificates? The most interesting quote from Kresge follows: "I direct this form of karate for the United States and handle all the correspondence for the Grand Master, Master Kanei Uechi of Futema, Okinawa." I wonder how accurate this statement might be! At the time of the article, Kresge was a 4th degree blackbelt. He has a 7th degree black belt." I believe that GM has written that he may have attended a seminar in Boston led by Master Tomoyose. He claims he studied in Boston under Master Tomoyose "who is No. What I find interesting, however, are some of Ted Kresge's other statements. That's pretty much a summary of the factual details in the newspaper article. He had 14 schools operating in the United States at the time of the article. So I just decided I would start teaching to help other people learn." At the publication date of the Independent story there were still schools operating in Wales, Belgium and two in Germany. "There were hardly any schools over there, but a lot of people had heard about karate. Kresge goes on to explain that his interest in Karate went back 15 years to when he was in the army in Orleans, France in 1962. The preface states: "Karate Begins and Ends with Courtesy, Honesty, Respect and Discipline." He expected to recoup his losses in the 2nd edition. Kresge explains that the book is made up of mimeographed pages "but the pages with pictures on them are printed." The first copies cost Kresge $10,000.00 to get printed and bound in hard cover. The newspaper states that only 258 copies were printed but that Kresge planned on a 10,000 run second edition.
It contains the history of every type of karate in the world complete self-defence." Kresge is quoted stating that "It took me eight years. The article states that the book is 2 3/4 inches thick and contains 1222 pages. The newspaper is now defunct however, microfilm copies are available in the local libraries. Petersburg Independent there's an article which references Kresge's Encylopedia of Karate.
