Title: great book for those interested in history of change in Karate
Product review: This is a translation of the older version of his big book and has some very interesting pictures. I recommend reading the introduction by the Admiral which mentions how Karate used to be too deadly so some moves were changed by Funakoshi. You will see that the pinan were not switched until after the original version of this book was written as was the side-kick. You can see that the original stances for kata which were presented here were more natural as seen in the Okinawan versions of karate.
