Bruce Tegners books

supposedly, the style taught to him were from shukohkai... I have looked at them and there are elements that are common in other styles of kata but as far as identifying them in the shukohkai system, I dont know where to find these kata specifically...
 
There was a book on boxing from Edwin Haislett and another more indepth book from the navy that are excellent books on training / skill development. I had some friendly sparring matches and surprised them with a simultaneous parry with offensive jab... this is something I got from books and applying them...

As kids we used to head to the local toy store. They sold genuine leather, lace-up, 8oz boxing gloves. No gumshields though, go figure! Anyway, we'd buy a couple of sets, lace them up and start throwing leather. Our fathers had taught us the basics of fighting and we had plenty of opportunities to practice. If you have some basics underfoot then you can definitely learn techniques from books. Fighting for fun is fairly straightforward and you can learn a lot by trial of fire. Of course it's easier as kids than trying to start out as adults. That's when martial arts clubs come in handy, but even then you can still learn a great amount from reading martial arts books, and don't let anyone tell you any different.

Does anyone know origin of this form? I was also told it's from Shukokai Shito-Ryu. But I've never seen it other then Kajukenbo & my school.
Looks like a tae kwon do form, basic ā€œIā€ pattern. Iā€™m pretty sure I learned something 99% similar to this in my very brief exploration of TKD many years ago.
