Title: A classic for all martial artists
Product review: This book is good glimpse of a budo master and his art in early 20th century Japan. Through this work, one can really learn about the "Do", or the spirit of karate. Even if one is not a karate student, I do believe practicing these kata can also help improve themselves in the art. I've done taekwondo for 10 years, and practising these forms (which are also practiced in tang soo do schools) help improved myself greatly as a martial artist.If one is studying karate, or its similar arts, this books is not only good in explaining how to do kata, but also how to use various techniques practiced through them. I even just enjoyed reading the section on each kata before I practiced them.This book also does put a perspective on the relationship between Japanese, Korean, and Chinese martial arts, however divergent they are today.This is a book for all masters and students in the arts.
