to Shotokan Karate
Just a line to let you know that the book is now finished and has just
been published. 220 pages, some in full colour, make this a large and
very interesting book for all who study Shotokan Karate.
>From the early beginnings in Asia and Okinawa, the life of Funakoshi is
studied and followed. There are many upsets and disappointments along
the way, but Funakoshi keeps his resolve and introduces Karate to
mainland Japan.
>From Japan, Karate has travelled to just about every corner of the
world. Read about and see some of the early karate practitioners
including the teachers who taught Funakoshi from an early age.
I enjoyed working on and re-writing this book, originally written by
the Chief Instructor of Finland, Sensei Willy Ortiz.
