The author tells of his experiences and training in Japan in the 1970's.
This is not a book to learn karate from, but it is a great read for anybody who has studied karate and dreamed of training in Japan.

Format:Paperback
This is a very interesting book written by an accomplished British martial artist. Sensei Frank Johnson (6th Dan), has served as the Editor of the Wado-World Magazine, and has authored a number of authoratative books about his chosen style of Japanese Karate-Do - namely Wado-Ryu - the Peaceful Way School of martial arts.
The paperback (2005) edition contains 88 numbered pages and is comprised of a Foreword, 16 distinct chapters and a Conclusion. It is lavishly illustrated throughout with colour and black and white photographs, as well as a number of lined drawings and Japanese caligraphy:
Foreword.
Acknowledgement.
Preparing to go to Japan.
My first day in Japan.
Arriving at the headquarters of Wado-Ryu.
My First Lesson in Japan.
Working in Japan.
The World Karate Championships.
Sumo in Japan.

Conclusion.
This book is a travel journal recording the events of Frank Johnson's visit to Japan which occurred between 1977 and 1979. On most days, formal martial arts training lasted arounded 5 hours per day. Whilst training in Japan Sensei Johnson also successfully graded for higher black belt recognition. During this time, the author gained a 2nd Dan black belt grade in the separate (but related) art of Kobudo, which teaches the use of traditional weaponry. This book is recommended reading for general reader - martial arts practitioner or not.
