MICHAEL MATSUDA NEW BOOK
To begin with, I am happing to announce the release of my autobiography book, Michael Matsuda: The Life Story of the Founder of the Martial Arts History Museum. This is a 315-page book on the life story of me, but more importantly, how the museum played and continues to play a huge role in my life. This is an easy read with a lot of great photos that I know you will enjoy. I wanted to share my life story so that you can become more involved with the museum and see what we went through to keep history alive.
