There are different types of karate historians. There are some who mostly work from home, many who buy their own sources, and then there are those like Andreas Quast, who has spent countless hours, if not days, in archives and various libraries. In this way, he was able to build up a comprehensive, small private archive from which he can still draw today.
Over the years, he has published many books, articles, etc., and is always helpful, leaving behind a clear trail that one can follow to continue working on his research in the future.
We can say THANK YOU or support him by purchasing his books, something I have been doing since 2007.
Or we can follow him on Patreon and support him in his further research projects – which are definitely worth supporting.
