Über den Autor
GICHIN FUNAKOSHI is one of karate's great masters. Born in Shuri, Okinawa Prefecture, 1868, he studied Karate-do from childhood and organized the the first public demonstrations.
As president of the Okinawa Association for the Spirit of Martial Arts, he was chosen to demonstrate karate at the First National Athletic Exhibition in Tokyo in 1922. This led to the introduction of the ancient martial art to the rest of Japan and subsequently to the rest of the world.
At the urging of friends and officials, he remained in Tokyo, and the development of the way of karate owes much to his teaching, writings and introduction of new forms. In his later years, he was president of Shotokai, of which he was a founder. He emphasized always the spiritual aspects of Karate-do, and it is significant that through his influence the Chinese characters for karate were changed from "Chinese" hand to "empty" hand.

Von Mike Troxel
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I own a fairly good number of karate books, and this book is by far the most useful; it is unsurpassed as an aid for students wanting to refine their kata, and also offers good insight in the basic concepts of what karate-do is. This is not a book you can learn karate from (as if there were such a thing), but for those who already practice, this is a real must-read book. Funakoshi Sensei wrote this book as an aid for students of karate at the request of many of his own students; I believe he succeeded magnificently.

Gichin Funakoshi was the founder of modern karate. His style is known as shotokan, from his nickname Shoto. Every karate and tae kwon do style in the world today is descended from Funakoshi. Ancient Korean tae kwon do is a lost art. Modern TKD borrowed heavily from Funakoshi.
Nearly 200 of the book's 250 pages are devoted to katas, the choreographed forms of karate. There are 17 katas carefully explained and illustrated. I learned some of these 30 years ago. You forget a lot in 30 years - although not so much if it's been drummed into your head enough. Anyway here they are - move by move, good as new. They are great practice tools for when you don't have a partner. Doing kata is a lot more interesting than repetitive drills.

This book is great in every aspect. First, the layout is great, quality paper with very well done illustrations and great photographic material. Second, the text by Masetr Funakoshi is very pleasant and interesting to read, really enjotable. And third the katas are demonstrated with great technique and much detail (written and pictures). Be sure to get this book if you are serously interersted in Shotokan Karate-Do. I must mention although that the book is 3/4 of Katas and 1/4 of everything else, so if you think you will be bored with pages and pages of katas dmonstartion, think about it twice. Overall, I find it excellent.

Although not a practitioner of Shotokan Karatedo, I have had an original 1935 copy of this book for many years, when I finally broke down and bought the English translation. I was not disappointed. I do feel however, that Oshima Sensei should have left in the photos of Funakoshi Sensei himself performing the techniques and kata, or at least left in the photos that show womens' self defense, in only from an historical point of view. All in all, though, this book is one of the most comprehensive on the market today.

The text in this book very enlightening. I recomend this book to all people, from the begginer to the most advanced pupil of the Art. Master Funakoshi expresses his ideas and methods very well.

There are ton of books and manuals that have a hard time coming close to this one. While reading this you get a good feel that "he's done this before". You can tell his is a professional and loves his work... this makes it easy to read and learn -- from the 4 other books I've bought on the subject and trained with - this one easily outshine the others...

I've made an overview and realized, once more, that the most important of learning karate rests in exhaustive techniques comprehension. More than practice kumite, kata and kihon are the first level of karate's spirit. Kumite is a necessary complement of the two first basis but never comes first. This book has shown it to me clearly.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Look no further, written by the Father of the art and translated and demonstrated by the greatest living master of the art. Many katas I learned straight out of the book and every time I look something up I learn something new. It's priceless.
