Title: Deceiving book .
Review: History of Goju-Ryu by Morio Higaonna Sensei.This (too expensive) book is deceiving. Even though we are hungry for the history of our Karate-do, what we need is "facts".The information in this book is contradictory with other sources like Seikichi Toguchi's "Okinawan Goju-Ryu" I and II, Shoshin Nagamine's "Tales of Okinawa great masters", Patrick McCarthy's "The bible of Karate - Bubishi" and Mark Bishop's "Okinawan Karate: teacher, styles and secret techniques" regarding the dates an personality of some masters. Sensei Higaonna (who is 7th Dan Goju-Ryu) put his sempai Anichi Miyagi on an altar but throws mud over Masters like Seko Higa!!?? He doesn't talk about the technical quality of other senior Sensei like Meitoku Yagi, Seikichi Toguchi, Eiichi Miyazato, Kanki Izumigawa, Seiichi Akamine, etc.I think we have enough of this "only we have the real form of the Kata and the truth of the style".
