Title: Thought provoking
Review: An excellent example of the advantages of "reverse engineering" kata. The book leads you through linked, dynamic applications of the Tekki--something I have never seen done anywhere else. There are no wasted movements here, no "this is just for show and not a realistic feeling" explanations. Every movement is given a direct application, and one that is often ruthlessly violent. Although as an earlier review mentioned, perhaps these should not be seen as the end all and be all of Tekki applications (the author makes no claim they are), but they have certainly helped my kata practice take on a more focused and realistic attitude. If Schmeisser can pull off a book of similar quality with the Heians Shotokan practitioners will be in his debt for a long time.
