Book excerpt: The title of this book, True Karate D?, was the title given by Sakiyama Sogen, Roshi, of Shuri, Okinawa, to an essay written by author Jeffrey Brooks, describing his ideal of what karate practice could be. Sakiyama was a great karate practitioner and Zen abbot of Kozen-ji. In his enthusiasm for Brooks' fresh and expansive vision of karate he translated Brooks' essay into Japanese and shared it with the karate community on Okinawa, and with his students overseas. In his book, True Karate D?, Brooks describes his effort to realize this ideal. There are three strands of discovery woven together in True Karate D?. One was to discover the underlying technical function and combative applications of kata. The second was the investigation of the soteriological claim, axiomatic throughout Japanese Zen-influenced budo, of the potential for ultimate liberation through martial arts practice. The third was how to live a coherent, healthy, virtuous and worthy life through practice.True Karate D? contains new insights into technique, body mechanics, mind training, and tactics, showing dimensions of karate which have been overlooked. True Karate D? reveals a new approach to deep transformation through practice - long a staple of the mystique of east Asian martial arts - long obscured and inaccessible. Relying on a careful reading of classic texts from Zen budo and other traditions, dojo and real world experience, history, and unforgettable stories, Brooks shows how we can live out the full potential of our martial arts. The approach presented in True Karate D? makes it possible to use martial arts practice as a complete training path. For vibrant health, practical defense, and ascent to the peak of human experience. Any martial artist can apply this approach. It is urgently needed, right now.

Book excerpt: Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available.

Book excerpt: Linking the time when karate was a strictly Okinawan art of self-defense shrouded in the deepest secrecy and the present day, when it has become a martial art practiced throughout the world, is Gichin Funakoshi, the "Father of Karate-do." Out of modesty, he was reluctant to write this autobiography and did not do so until he was nearly ninety years of age. Trained in the Confucian classics, he was a schoolteacher early in life, but after decades of study under the foremost masters, he gave up his livelihood to devote the rest of his life to the propagation of the Way of Karate. Under his guidance, techniques and nomenclature were refined and modernized, the spiritual essence was brought to the fore, and karate evolved into a true martial art. Various forms of empty-hand techniques have been practiced in Okinawa for centuries, but due to the lack of historical records, fancy often masquerades as fact. In telling of his own famous teachers--and not only of their mastery of technique but of the way they acted in critical situations--the author reveals what true karate is. The stories he tells about himself are no less instructive: his determination to continue the art, after having started it to improve his health; his perseverance in the face of difficulties, even of poverty; his strict observance of the way of life of the samurai; and the spirit of self-reliance that he carried into an old age kept healthy by his practice of Karate-do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic Shotokan Karate Master Text has been printed for the explicit purpose of providing an exact reproduction of the complete original 1935 Japanese publication, preserving a historically accurate archive replica in the English language, that now can be experienced and enjoyed by all who can appreciate its significance. This legacy, as is the true goal of Karate Do, is meant to be experienced with mind, body, and Spirit. Master Funakoshi's message is transmitted in these pages through philosophical thought, physical and mental practice methods, and most importantly, with manifest image. Each photograph of Master Funakoshi not only demonstrates the exact form and method of each technique, but is also an archetypal key to the spiritual path he followed and exemplified. This book is a comprehensive guide for the study of karate and is credited as the foundation document of the modern day karate movement. Inner strength and personal character development are stressed through an active daily regimen of physical exercise and martial technique. Kara-te Do Kyohan is Master Funakoshi's gift to mankind. An informed study will reveal that his focus in life was to share his knowledge and the benefits he acquired and experienced through a life of conscious self-discipline rooted in the principles of Karate Do. Gichen Funakoshi (1868-1957) was born in Shuri, Okinawa and, as a boy, began training with Yasutsune Azato (Shuri-te) and Yasutsune Itosu (Naha-te). Through many years of diligent practice these two styles were blended and became what is known today as Shotokan Karate.
