How do you build a museum? One step, one story, and one sacrifice at a time.
For the first time, Michael Matsuda—founder and president of the Martial Arts History Museum—shares the deeply personal roadmap of his life. This isn't just a history of martial arts; it's the first-hand account of the childhood dreams, pivotal life events, and relentless drive that made the museum a reality.
Warm, insightful, and fiercely dedicated, Michael invites you to discover the heart and soul behind the glass cases and cultural displays. By the final page, you won't just understand the man behind the institution—you’ll want to stand alongside him in preserving this vital history for generations to come.
