About this archive
These albums date from 2005 and were recovered from an old copy of pushardskarate.com. Many of the full-size photographs had already been lost from the web archive, so some pages show the original thumbnail rather than the full image, and a handful of photographs did not survive at all. Each page says clearly which it is.
Competition photographs
The World Championships album shows what the World/Sport Team trains for.
Where the kata lead
The forms performed in these photographs are listed on the kata reference.
