ABOUT TAMASHII PRESS
Traditional Karate DVDs and Books for the Modern World

Tamashii Press publishes and distributes the finest traditional Japanese karate historical, documentary, and instructional DVDs, books, and related products by world-renowned practitioners like Stan Schmidt, Randall Hassell, Elmar T. Schmeisser, and Edmond Otis. Please visit our Author & Instructor Biography main page for a complete list.

Our roots go back to 1982, when world renowned karate insructor, author, and historian Randall Hassell and his business partners started Focus Publications. The first three books they came out with literally changed the way Shotokan karate-ka viewed their art:

Over the years, we published many other book titles, and began producing videotapes. In 1998, we sold our book publishing unit and formed Damashi Productions to focus on producing traditional karate historical, documentary, and instructional DVDs and videos.

Eventually we re-acquired our book publishing unit and Damashi became Tamashii Press, an imprint of Tamashii LLC. With Brian Hassell as Producer and Publisher, and Randall Hassell as our Senior Editor, we are more committed than ever to providing the world with the best in traditional martial arts DVDs, books, and related media.

Our future plans call for expanding into other traditional Japanese martial art styles and subjects, as well as general fitness and related topics. We are actively seeking new book and video projects (in any stage of development) to produce, publish, and distribute, dealing with all styles of traditional Japanese and Okinawan martial arts. We welcome proposals from students & instructors, writers, authors, producers, and directors worldwide.
