Kurzbeschreibung

Karate, which has come to be regarded by the public as nothing more than a spectacular, high-kicking style of fighting-with homicide as the objective-has meaning far beyond this superficial interpretation. As a method of self-defense, karate has few equals, yet despite its great popularity, the essence of the art has been poorly grasped by many of its practitioners.
Ancient in origin, the martial arts of the East have always had the development of man's spiritual, as well as physical, nature at their core. Karate-do, the "Way of Karate," is no different from the other martial arts in this respect.
Animals are not muscle-bound; why should a man be? Pliancy and flexibility are natural characteristics of the human body; rigidity is the mark of death. Beginning with the warming-up exercises-neglected in earlier karate books-and continuing with the fundamental stances and techniques, the student can learn to preserve that pliancy and flexibility and at the same time develop his natural strength, agility and coordination.
From the method presented in this book, the beginner can understand what it means to be calm of spirit but quick of mind. While actualizing the basic skills that lead to the confidence necessary to face any adversary, he will also develop the discipline that checks the misuse of such skills.
More advanced students, also, will find much of value here, for the author's practice of karate spans more than four decades, and he assesses both the changes in ways of training and in the way of thinking-as well as the significance of these changes. He shows the path leading to strengthening of body and mind and, thus, to harmony of mind and body.

Über den Autor


SHIGERU EGAMI was president and chief instructor of the Shoto-kan of the Japan Karate-do Shoto-kai. Born in 1912 in Fukuoka Prefecture, he began practicing karate while a student at Waseda University, whose karate club he helped to establish. In 1937, he was appointed by Gichin Funakoshi to the Shoto-kan's committee for evaluation; after the Second World War he studied under Master Funakoshi and assisted him in teaching. Formerly manager of Waseda University's karate club and lecturer in physical education at the University he also taught karate at Gakushuin, Toho, and Chuo Universities and was active in establishing a number of karate organizations both in Japan and overseas.

Heart of Karate Do 22. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This book has been out of print for some time and now it's back! It is one of my favorite books about karate, written by a man who studied directly from Gichin Funakoshi. Originally published at The Way of Karate: Beyond Technique, this book will guide karate practitioners to another side of karate, a softer, more powerful, and more spiritual side as described by one of the pre-JKA pioneers, Shoto Kai Master Shigeru Egami. This book provided insight and helped me improve my karate (I have trained in Wado Ryu for over 20 years). The book also has historical significance in that it provides a window into the understanding of a man who trained with Funakoshi and went on to make his own discoveries.

Only ONE problem: Why replace the photos? 8. Oktober 2002
Von Jozev - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is no doubt a true classic in the traditional Karate world, which I should find no reason not giving it full marks. So where is that missing star?
The problem came with this 'Revised Edition'. I was so surprised when I received it, finding out that they'd replaced all the demonstration photos from the older version. What a dumb move. The quality of the new photos might be a little bit better, but the new demonstrators are simply not on par with the ones in the original version.
My advice: If you can afford the $ and time, hunt down an out-of-print copy of the original version instead.

Thought Japanese Karate had No High Kicks? 31. Oktober 2001
Von C. J. Hardman - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Think again! But for the pioneering spirit of Shigeru Egami...Egami pioneered certain flexability and strength exercises that are demonstrated in this book. Included are several kicking exercises which are similar or identical to many done by Korean and Chinese stylists, like the jump split kick, jump double front kick (both feet out at the same time), and so on. Also many jumping and flexing exercises. If you are familiar with the martial art of Shintaido, founded by Horoyuki Aoki, you will note many similarities, for Aoki, a disciple of Egami's, encorporated many of Egami's flexibility training ideas and techniques directly into Shintaido, making them the foundation of the art and doing away with much of the ridgidity that had taken over Shotokan since Funakoshi. Egami was an accomplished karate man, unafraid to innovate, experiment, and include new helpful training methods. Advanced "hard" stylists should enjoy this book, especially Shotokan, Wado-ryu, Sh'to-ryu, Kyokushinkai. Egami is seen in some circles as the "Tohei of Shotokan", innovating and changing karate in a manner similar to the way Koichi Tohei changed Aikido.
