Book Synopsis The Outer Circle, My Journey to Nowhere by : Thomas Pressimone
Download or read book The Outer Circle, My Journey to Nowhere written by Thomas Pressimone and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-29 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 25 years of teaching karate and researching the "old ways" I finally left all of it behind and continued on my journey alone. No longer teaching or involving myself at all in the commercialism of "modern karate" I simply trained. During these years I gathered many thoughts and some disgruntled complaints. In this book I attempt to put these thoughts to paper. They are simply my notes and thoughts expanded upon and presented so that anyone who knows me might know what I have been up to and why I no longer teach or train with the modern establishment. My book comes with a warning because I am at times brutally honest. I disagree with much of the showboating, money making, "sport" aspects and modernization of karate; changing it to nothing more than a childs babysitting service and black belt mill. So these are my thoughts and opinions. Sometimes they may not make sense but then again... they're just thoughts. Again these are only my opinions. I'm not necessarily saying that anyone is doing anything wrong only that quite often they are saying and doing two different things. They have their brand and I have mine. I'll apologize up front for anyone I may insult. It truly isn't my intention to do so; but at times it can't be helped. Hopefully we can all remain friends.
