The Essence Of Karate

Great book! Oss!

This book uses many stories to illustrate the points being made, and they are very enriching. Master Funakoshi also writes about some of Okinawan history - which adds some insight into the history of Karate

Of interest to practitioners of karate and also to those just seeking knowledge

perfect

A 'must' addition to your Master Funakoshi collection. You will want to seek out his other publications and know more about his life before and during Japan's militarist period which brought catastrophy to the country.

Any book by Gichin Funakoshi I would recommend to any practitioner of Karate.The masters writing can be read again and again.

Great, of course!

Short but a must
