Title: A must-have for serious students of Okinawan Karate-Do
Review: Nagamine Shoshin was a grand master (1907-1997) who created the Okinawan style of Shorin Ryu Matsubayashi and was well versed in Okinawan history and Karate-Do in general. His writing on the subject is clear and interesting, with historical stories of great masters who preceded him and detailed elements of his art, including photographic detail of each of the eighteen kata in his style.Although I am not a member of the Matsubayashi organization, I have studied,practiced, and taught the principles and kata in this book for 33 years and hope to continue for many years to come. I believe that this book is a must-have for all practitioners of traditional Okinawan Karate-Do.
