5.0 out of 5 stars
Try This!!,
By Terry Tozer "TJSKA.com" (Reading, Bracknell, Brighton & Hove, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Shotokan Karate Dictionary : Shotokan No Hyakkajiten (Paperback)
This is quite a hard book to get a hold of but I'm so glad that I persisted in my search; I hope you have better luck. It's quite a hefty tome & packed full of useful information & pictures including the Japanese kanji. I haven't seen anything like this one & it's quite unique & would end up being a well used copy in anyone's library
However.....if you're unable to find a copy of this book, have a look at the Shotokan Pocket Book. This book appears to contain as much information and I think could equally match the one above, it's packed full of information that the serious instructor would need for his lessons. Book Synopsis;- A complete compendium of all terms we use in karate and here specialized in Shotokan. Written in a unique form with their Japanese Characters (Kanji), Pronunciation and English translations. The Dictionary contains the numerical system, different Levels and Directions, Elements of the Kata Training, Basic and Advanced Kata, Instructions during training, Movements, Stances, Postures, Dojo Rules, Parts of the Human Body and all Techniques in an illustrated form. Furthermore, it enters the Philosophical background of Shotokan Karate, Karate-Do, the Twenty Precepts of Funakoshi. The final chapters are Karate Philosophies and some annotations of famous Zen Masters. The 2001 edition has 240 pages. See pictures above for the table of contents.

Great Book for any level karateka!!,
By Donna Brock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Shotokan Karate Dictionary : Shotokan No Hyakkajiten (Paperback)
This book is the most concise collection of Shotokan techniques that I have seen. Also the written explanations and illustrations of the blocks and strikes are so easy to understand. The addition of the kanji is a nice touch. This book would be great for any karateka studying the Shotokan style. Also, the quality of the book itself is great. Overall this is a very good book to add to your collection.
