Format:Paperback
An older but an exact copy of "Moving Zen: One Man's Journey to the Heart of Karate".
Mr. Nicole tells about Karate from a Western viewpoint and how it was practiced in Japan after the war, but before it became mainstream in America. He recounts his interactions with the Japanese, some nice, some not so nice, and gives detailed accounts about his learning karate in the cold dojo with a wood burning stove as the only source of heat. His adventure is one that many of us envies but would not attempt, as he did and when he did. In our current day of carpet on the floor, and three inch safety padding, Nicole's book provides a good account of what karate used to be like and should be like today.

A worthwhile read
I thought that this was quite an interesting read and was only really put off by the fact that the author left Japan to go whaling. Not exactly something to brag about.
