Mr. Masuko, who earned his fourth grade black belt in Japan before his recent arrival in Canada, says karate is an excellent form of exercise for anyone from 10 to 50 years old. Fighting, however, is forbidden in the streets because this form of self- defense is tremendously powerful.

Such financial tran- sfusions might make the search for new blood a little bit easier.
